[G] [Em]
[G]
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds, I know you [Em] must live on.
[G] You robbed my poor pocket, [C] robbed silver [G] and gold.
Man of whiskey, you villain, you've been [Em] my downfall.
[E]
[G] You've cuffed and you've ticked me, but [C] I love [G] you of old.
Oh whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey [E] I cry.
If [Em] I don't get [G] rye whiskey, [Em] I'll show [G] you where to lie.
Oh I'll go on yonder mountain and build [Em] me a shed.
Then [G] I'll sell you a gas [Em] for five [G] dollar bills.
Oh yeah, there's beefcake when I'm hungry, whiskey [Em] when I'm dry.
And [G] there's greenbacks when I'm [Em] hung up and hell when [G] I die.
Oh whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey [E] I cry.
If [G] I don't get rye whiskey, I'll show you where to lie.
Hell the sea were made of whiskey, but I [Em] wasn't cut.
[G] I'd swim through the bottom [C] and never [G] come up.
Oh but the sea ain't made of whiskey, and I ain't [Em] aged.
[E]
[G] So I'll play jack of diamonds, [C] trust on [G] my love.
I said whiskey, rye whiskey, [Em] whiskey I cry.
[E] If [G] I don't get [Em] rye whiskey, I surely [G] will die.
I said whiskey, rye whiskey, whiskey [Em] I cry.
If I [G] don't get rye whiskey, I surely will die.
[Em] If I don't get rye whiskey, [Em] I surely [G] will die.
