Jim , Jim , I Wore A Tie Today 
                          G5    C5 
The first one that I ever wore 
                          F5                   D5 
And you have said, that I looked like a dummy  
                   G5 
Out of a dry goods store. 
 

   C5    G5                F5             C5    
Oh Jim , Jim the preacher said a lot of things  
      F5                     G5 
But I didn't hear a word he said  
   C5                   F5              
My mind kept wanderin' back down the trail 
C5           G5             C5 
Back to the good times we had.  
 

G5                           C5                G5 
Ridin' the herd through the sun and the rain  
                        C5    G5 
Pannin' for gold on the cuff  
                          C5 
We did everything, in the books I guess  
      D5                            G5 
And a lot, that they never thought up  
   C5    G5             F5          C5 
Oh Jim , Jim so you're ridin' on ahead 
     F5                           G5 
Well if that's how it's goin' to be  
     C5               F5 
When you reach those streets paved with gold  
C5           G5             C5 
Jim stake a claim out for me.   
 

( C5 G5 F5 C5 F5 G5 C5 F5 C5 G5 C5 )       
We did everything we could for you Jim but 
Your fever just wouldn't go down  
So we put you in the wagon Jim 
And this mornin' we got you back to town  
But when we got here you were gone Jim 
And there wasn't anything anybody could do 
And they dressed you up in a fancy suit and a neck-tie 
So today, we wore one too.
