[Verse 1]
 
      D                             G                D
Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
      D                                   G             A
He played it from the night-time to the peaceful early morn
      G                              D                A
He soothed souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
           D               G           A    D
and they all looked very happy in the morning
 
[Verse 2]
 
      D                             G                D
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
      D                                   G             A
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many powers
      G                              D                A
So sad to see the grieving of the people he was leaving
           D               G           A    D
And he took the road from nowhere in the morning
 
[Chorus]
 
     D                  G             D
We walked him to the station in the rain
     D                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
D
Sad to say I must be on my way
     G               D                  A
so buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
      D
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
           G             D             A       D
to the greatest little boozer and to Sally McLennane
 
[Verse 3]
 
      D                             G                D
The years passed by the times had changed Igrew to be a man
      D                                   G             A
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally McLennane
      G                              D                A
I took the jeers and drank the beers and I crawled back home at dawn
           D               G           A    D
I ended up a barman in the morning
 
[Verse 4]
 
      D                             G                D
I plied the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
      D                                   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
Some people left for heaven without warning
 
[Chorus]
 
     D                  G             D
We walked him to the station in the rain
     D                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
D
Sad to say I must be on my way
     G               D                  A
so buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
      D
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
           G             D             A       D
to the greatest little boozer and to Sally McLennane

[Verse 5]
 
      D                             G                D
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they where gone
      D                                   G             A
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
      G                              D                A
Some people they arescared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
           D               G           A    D
And took the road for heaven in the morning
