Poor Howard's dead and gone
A7              D
Left me hear to sing this song
              G
Poor Howard's dead and gone

[Verse]
D
Poor Howard had a wife
A7                 D
And she nagged him all his life
                G
So, he used his butcher knife
D              A7    D    (D)
Like I said he had a wife
 
[Chorus]
    D
But Poor Howard's dead and gone
A7              D
Left me hear to sing this song
              G
Poor Howard's dead and gone
D               A7        D    (D)
Left me hear to sing this song
 
[Verse]
     D
They took poor Howard off to jail
     A7              D
They wouldn't let me go his bail
               G
Said if Howard is your friend
D          A7      D    (D)
Buy a lily for his hand
 
[Chorus]
      D
Cause Poor Howard's dead and gone
A7              D
Left me hear to sing this song
              G
Poor Howard's dead and gone
D               A7        D
Left me hear to sing this song

[Verse]
D
When we laid his bones to rest
A7               D
We fulfilled his last request
                G
He said buddies bury me
D            A7       D   (D)
Far from her as I can be
 
[Chorus]
    D
Now Poor Howard's dead and gone
A7              D
Left me hear to sing this song
              G
Poor Howard's dead and gone
D               A7        D    (D)
Left me hear to sing this song
 
[Verse]
    D
His last words were friends goodbye
A7              D
Don't you worry don't you cry
                    G
I don't mind this a gettin' hung
   D                   A7      D     (D)
At least I stopped her naggin' tongue
 
[Chorus]
    D
Now Poor Howard's dead and gone
A7              D
Left me hear to sing this song
              G             G    G    G
Poor Howard's dead and gone
D               A7        D    D
Left me hear to sing this song
