[Dbm] [Bm] [Dbm]
[A] [Ab]
[Dbm] It [Ab] [Dbm] was [Ab]
down by [Dbm] old Joe's Bar on a corner of [Ab] the square.
[Db] They were serving [Ab] [Dbm] drinks as usual [Db] and the usual [Ab] crowd [Dbm] was [Ab] there.
On [A] my left [Ab] stood big [Dbm] Joe McKinney and his eyes were [Ab] bloodshot red.
[A] And he turned his [Ab]
face [Dbm] to the people.
These [A] were the very [Ab] words he said.
[Db] I was down in [Ab] St.
[Dbm] James Infirmary.
I saw my [Ab] baby there.
She [A] was stretched out on a [Ab] long [Dbm] white table.
[C] So [Ab] sweet, cool and so fair.
Let [A] her [Ab] go, let her go, [Dbm] God bless her.
Wherever she [Ab] may be, [Em] she may search this [Ab] whole [Dbm] wide world over.
[A] Never find a [Ab] sweeter [Dbm] man [Ab] as me.
[A] When I [Ab] die, [Dbm] please bury me in my high-top [Gb] Stetson hat.
[A] Put a twenty dollar gold [Ab] piece [Dbm] on my watch chain.
[Ab] The gang will know I died standing pat.
[A] Let her go, [Ab] let her go, [Dbm] God bless her.
Wherever she [Ab] may be, she [A] may search this [Ab] whole wide [Dbm] world over.
[A] Never find [Ab] a sweeter man [Ab] as me.
[Db] I want six [Ab] crapshooters to be my [Dbm] pallbearer.
Three pretty women to sing [Ab] a song.
[A] Stick [Ab] a jazz band on my [Dbm] hearse wagon.
[Em] Raise [Ab] hell as I stroll along.
[A] Let her go, [Ab] let her go, [Dbm] God bless her.
Wherever [Ab] she may be, [Em] she may search this [Ab] whole wide [Dbm] world over.
She'll [A] never find a [Ab] sweeter man [Dbm] as me.
