Вступление
[Verse 1]
DGD
Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
DGA
He played it from the night-time to the peaceful early morn
GDA
He soothed souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
DGAD
and they all looked very happy in the morning
DGD
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
DGA
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many powers
GDA
So sad to see the grieving of the people he was leaving
DGAD
And he took the road from nowhere in the morning
[Chorus]
DGD
We walked him to the station in the rain
DGA
We kissed him as we put him on the train
GDG
And we sang him a song of times long gone
DADA
though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
D
Sad to say I must be on my way
GDA
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
GDAD
to the greatest little boozer and to Sally McLennane
[Verse 2]
DGD
The years passed by the times had changed Igrew to be a man
DGA
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally McLennane
GDA
I took the jeers and drank the beers and I crawled back home at dawn
DGAD
And ended up a barman in the morning
DGD
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
DGA
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
GDA
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
DGAD
Some people left for heaven without warning
[Chorus]
DGD
We walked him to the station in the rain
DGA
We kissed him as we put him on the train
GDG
And we sang him a song of times long gone
DADA
though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
D
Sad to say I must be on my way
GDA
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
GDAD
to the greatest little boozer and to Sally McLennane
[Verse 3]
DGD
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they where gone
DGA
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
GDA
Some people they arescared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
DGAD
And took the road for heaven in the morning
