[Fm] [Bbm] [Fm]
[Bbm] [Fm]
I went down [Bbm] to St.
[Fm] James Infirmary and I heard [Bbm] my [Fm] baby groan
And I felt [Bbm] so [Fm] broken hearted
[Db] She used to be my [C] [Fm] very own
I tried [Bbm] so hard [Fm] to keep from crying
My [Bbm] heart felt [Fm] just like lead
She was [Bbm] all [Fm] that I had to live for
[Db] Oh, I just wish [C] it was me [Fm] instead
Now [Bb] [Fm]
[Bbm] [Fm]
[Bbm] [Fm]
[Db] [C] [Fm]
she's [Ab] gone, [Bbm] she's gone
And [Fm] may God bless her wherever [Bbm] she [Fm] may be
She has searched [Bbm] this wide [Fm] world over
Oh, [Db] but she's never [C] found a man [Fm] like me
She's gone, [Bbm] she's gone
[B] [Fm] She's gone
[Bbm] [Fm]
