Intro:  Instrumental Verse 
       A5      E5      A5 
It was down at old Joe's bar room 
        A5         F5  C5       E5  
At the corner      by the square 
          A5      E5       A5       A5  
They were serving drinks as usual 
        F5         E5           A5 
And the usual         crowd was there 
      A5         E5         A5 
On my left stood big Joe MacKennedy 
    A5         F5        C5       E5   
His eyes were bloodshot     red 
           A5           E5         A5    A5   
And as he looked at the gang around him 
      F5         E5         A5 
These were the very words he said. 
       A5      E5        A5 
I went down to St. James Infirmary 
A5            F5         C5    E5   
     I saw my baby          there 
          A5       E5          A5    A5   
Stretched out on a long, white table 
   F5        E5      A5 
So young, so   cold, so fair 
A5             E5         A5 
     Seventeen coal-black horses 
A5           F5       C5    E5   
Hitched to a rubber-tied hack 
 A5         E5           A5       A5   
Seven girls goin' to the graveyard 
     F5           E5     A5 
Only six of them are coming back 
        A5          E5             A5 
Let her go. Let her go, God bless her 
A5          F5       C5       E5   
   Wherever she may     be 
         A5        E5          A5         A5   
She may search this wide world over 
          F5        E5       A5     
And never find another man like me 
 
Instrumental Verse x2 
 
 
A5       E5          A5 
  When I die just bury me 
A5      F5            C5    E5   
  In my high-top Stetson hat 
        A5            E5               A5        A5   
Place a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain 
           F5       E5            A5     
To let the Lord know I died standing pat 
       A5                E5      A5 
I want six crap-shooters for my pallbearers 
  A5             F5       C5     E5   
A Chorus girl to sing me a   song 
        A5           E5        A5    A5   
Place a jazz band on my hearse wagon 
   F5            E5        A5     
To raise hell as we roll along 
A5               E5       A5 
 Now that you've heard my story 
A5                  F5         C5    E5    
  I'll take another shot of       booze 
A5              E5       A5       A5   
  And if anyone here should ask you  
F5          E5        A5     
  I've got the gambler's blues
