[Intro]
| N.C. | A E | B E
[Verse 1]
E A EWell, Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
A BHe played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
A E BHe soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
E A B EAnd they all looked very happy in the morning
[Verse 2]
E A ENow Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
A BWhere the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many powers
A E BSo sad to see the grieving of the people that I'm leaving
E A B EAnd he took the road for God knows in the morning
[Pre-Chorus]
A E N.C.We walked him to the station in the rain
E A B N.C.We kissed him as we put him on the train
A E AAnd we sang him a song of times long gone
E BThough we knew that we'd be seeing him again
[Chorus]
ESad to say I must be on my way
A E BSo buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
EI'd like to think of me returning when I can
A E B ETo the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
[Verse 3]
E A EThe years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
A BI learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
A E BI took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
E A B EAnd ended up a barman in the morning
[Verse 4]
E A EI played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
A BI talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
A E BI heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
E A B ESome people left for heaven without warning
[Pre-Chorus]
A E N.C.We walked him to the station in the rain
E A B N.C.We kissed him as we put him on the train
A E AAnd we sang him a song of times long gone
E BThough we knew that we'd be seeing him again
[Chorus]
ESad to say I must be on my way
A E BSo buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
EI'd like to think of me returning when I can
A E B E A E B ETo the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
[Verse 5]
E A EWhen Jimmy came back home, he was surprised that they were gone
A BHe asked me all the details of the train that they went on
A E BSome people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
E A B EAnd took the road for heaven in the morning
[Pre-Chorus]
A E N.C.We walked him to the station in the rain
E A B N.C.We kissed him as we put him on the train
A E AAnd we sang him a song of times long gone
E BThough we knew that we'd be seeing him again
[Chorus]
ESad to say I must be on my way
A E BSo buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
EI'd like to think of me returning when I can
A E B ETo the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
