                                   G           D       
Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
                                        G              A    
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn'
   G                                D           A           
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
         D               G            A       D
And they all looked very happy in the morning ■
                                G  D                 
But Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
                                                     G                 A    
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many pours
G                                  D      A               
So sad to see the grieving and the people that I'm leaving
       D                 G                A       D
And he took the road for god knows in the morning ■
                     G              D   
We walked him to the station in the rain
                    G              A    
We kissed him as we put him on the train
       G        D                    G   
And we sang him a song of times long gone
          D    A                       D     A
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again ■


[Chorus]
    D                             
I'm sad to say I must be on me way
G              D                  A                 
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
D                                           
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
       G        D                    A     D         
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally Maclennane
                                        G              D  
The years went by the times had changed I grew to be a man
                                       G     A         
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally Maclennane
  G                                      D       A                
I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
D   G                        A       D
And ended up a barman in the morning ■


[Verse]
                                        G       D           
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
                                     G                 A    
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
  G                           D            A       
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
    D                    G              A       D
And some people left for heaven without warning ■
                     G              D   
We walked him to the station in the rain
                    G              A    
We kissed him as we put him on the train
       G          D                  G   
And we sang him a song of times long gone
       D                 A                  
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again


[Chorus]
    D                             
I'm sad to say I must be on me way
G                  D                  A             
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
D                                           
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
       G               D             A     D         
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally Maclennane

When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
                                   G               A      
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
G                                        D     A                    
Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
D        G                      A       D
Took the road for heaven in the morning ■
                     G              D   
We walked him to the station in the rain
                        G              A    
And we kissed him as we put him on the train
       G          D             G        
And we sang him a song of times long gone
          D    A                            
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
    D                             
I'm sad to say I must be on me way
G                  D                  A             
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
D                                           
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
       G               D             A     D
