Introduction: Am Dm Am Am Dm C E
Am Dm Am
Well, I went down to Old Joe's Barroom
Am Dm C E
Down on the corner by the square
Am Dm Am
They were serving drinks as usual
C E Am
Oh, the usual crowd was there
Am Dm Am
In the corner sat Big Joe McKenzie
Am Dm C E
His eyes were blood shot red
Am Dm Am
And as he turned to address
The crowd around him
C E Am
These were the very words that he said
Am Dm Am
Well I went down to St James Infirmary
Am Dm C E
To see my baby there
Am Dm Am
She was laid out on that long white table
C E Am
So cold, so pale, so fair
Am Dm Am
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Am Dm CE
Where ever she may be
Am Dm Am
Let her search that whole wide world over
C E Am
Never find a man as sweet as me
Am Dm Am
She'll never find a man as sweet as me
Am Dm
When I die, won't you bury me
C E
In my high top Stetson hat
Am Dm
Put a twenty dollar gold piece
Am
On my watch hand
C E Am
So the gang'll know I died standing pat
Am Dm Am
I want six crapshooters for pallbearers
Am Dm C E
Pretty gals sing me a song
Am Dm Am
I want a jazz band on my hearse wagon
C E Am
To raise Hell as we roll 'long
Am Dm Am
Won't you roll out that rubber tarmac
Am Dm Am
Won't you roll out that rubber tarmac
Am Dm C E
Thirteen men go down to that old graveyard
Am
There's only twelve of them
Dm Am
Men coming back
Am Dm Am
Now that you heard my story
Am Dm CE
Have another shot of the booze
Am Dm Am
Anything anybody should ask
C E Am
I got the St James Infirmary blues
C E Am
I got the St James Infirmary blues
