Jimmie Rodgers - In The Jailhouse Now Ukulele

[Intro]
(Whistle chorus)
G                    C
He's in the jailhouse now
                F
He's in the jailhouse now
 G
I told him once or twice
 
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
                      C
He's in the jailhouse now
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
 
Who used to steal, gamble and rob
                     C7            F
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
 
But I found out last Monday, that Bob got locked up Sunday
        D                                G
They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown
 
 
[Chorus 1]
G                    C
He's in the jailhouse now
                F
He's in the jailhouse now
 G
I told him once or twice
 
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
                      C
He's in the jailhouse now
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
Bob liked to play his poker
 
Pee-knuckle, with Stan Yoker
                                   F
But shootin' dice was his favourite game
 
Well, he got thro'd in jail, with nobody to go his bail
    D                                 G
The judge done said that he refused a fine
 
 
[Chorus 1]
G                    C
He's in the jailhouse now
                F
He's in the jailhouse now
 G
I told him once or twice
 
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
                      C
He's in the jailhouse now
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                     C
Well, I went out last Tuesday
                 F
Met a girl named Susie
                 C7
I said I was the swellest guy around
F
Well, we started t' spend my money
 
Then she started to call me honey
   D                        G
We took in every cabaret in town
 
 
[Chorus 2]
G                      C
We're in the jailhouse now
                       F
We're in the jailhouse now
  G
I told that judge right to his face
 
I don't like to see this place
                       C
We're in the jailhouse nowwwwwww
