Jim I Wore A Tie Today

  D Bm Em A        D   Bm Em A    D
(Jim      uh huh, Jim       uh huh, Jim)

[Verse]
D                             G   A   D
Jim, I did everything that I could
                              G   A   D
But your fever just wouldn't die down
D
So I tied your horse to the wagon bed
     Em                              A
And last night I brought you to town

D                                  D7
But when I got there you were gone Jim
               G                   Gm
And there was nothin' nobody could do
            D                     A7
I bought you a suit and a tie Jim
                      D    A
And today I wore one too

D      G    A     D
Jim I wore a tie today
       G       A      D    Em    A7
The first one that I ever wore
D               D7      G            Gm
And you'd have said I looked like a dummy
E7                   A7
Out of a dry goods store

[Verse]
D           G    A      D
Jim they said a lot of things
     G       A       D        Em     A7
But I don't know a thing they said
D             D7        G            Gm
My mind kept wanderin' off down the trail
D            A7              D
Back to the times that we've had

Em     A           D
(Wind her through sun and the rain)
Em          A           D
Panning for gold on the cuff
Em          A                D       Bm
We've done everything in the book I guess
       E7                      A
And a lot they'd never thought up
D           G      A         D
Well Jim, you're ridin' on ahead
  G             A      D  Em    A7
I guess that's how it has be
D             D7          G                  Gm
But when you reach those streets paved with gold
 D           A             D
Jim Stake a claim out for me...

[Outro]
  D Bm Em A        D   Bm Em A    D
(Jim      uh huh, Jim       uh huh, Jim)
