Poor Happy Jimmy Chords

(ver. 1)
Gino Vannelli
|F9        |     Fadd9|F         |           |

|F9        |     Fadd9|F         |           |

F9                          F6  F7
     Give him a soft guitar
                        F6  F7
to play what he choose
                             F6  F7
He ain't got no fancy chords

Only got his blues

A7+5-9      Dm9
Poor happy Jimmy
  A13                  A7+5-9          Dm9
I didn't know him very well but he was with me
      Bb9                       Eb9
And I won't take a dime just to make it rhyme
        Am7                 Ab9-5
Cause I cried and cried the day he died
Gm7  C7+5-9   Gb9
Poor          happy

|F       |     F6|F      |    F6|F7                           F6 F7
 Jimmy                                Give him sweet melodies
                         F6 F7
he sing with all he has
                          F6 F7
He got a funky paraphrase

It sound like good time jazz



 A7+5-9           Dm9
       Poor happy Jimmy
  A13                  A7+5-9          Dm9
I didn't know him very well but he was with me
      Bb9                        Eb9
And I won't put the blame on the aeroplane
       Am7             Ab9-5
But I boo-hoo'd on the day he flew
Gm7   C7-9+5  Gb9
Poor          happy

About your life and times

You set a spell in

A good man never dies
