[Primeira Parte]

      Am             Dm        Am
Well, I went down to Old Joe's Barroom
Am          Dm            C    E
Down on the corner by the square
Am        Dm      Am
They were serving drinks as usual
        C     E         Am
Oh, the usual crowd was there
       Am     Dm        Am
In the corner sat Big Joe McKenzie
Am       Dm              C  E
His eyes were blood shot red
 Am        Dm       Am
And as he turned to address

The crowd around him
       C            E             Am
These were the very words that he said

[Refrão]

     Am             Dm       Am
Well I went down to St James Infirmary
Am     Dm      C   E
To see my baby there
Am           Dm          Am
She was laid out on that long white table
   C        E        Am
So cold, so pale, so fair
Am          Dm          Am
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Am         Dm      C E
Where ever she may be
Am        Dm        Am
Let her search that whole wide world over
C            E               Am
Never find a man as sweet as me
 Am          Dm            Am
She'll never find a man as sweet as me

[Segunda Parte]

Am                    Dm
When I die, won't you bury me
      C                E
In my high top Stetson hat
Am                  Dm
Put a twenty dollar gold piece
      Am
On my watch hand
C                     E             Am
So the gang'll know I died standing pat
Am          Dm              Am
I want six crapshooters for pallbearers
Am          Dm        C  E
Pretty gals sing me a song
Am                    Dm        Am
I want a jazz band on my hearse wagon
   C             E        Am
To raise Hell as we roll 'long

          Am       Dm          Am
Won't you roll out that rubber tarmac
          Am       Dm          Am
Won't you roll out that rubber tarmac
Am           Dm               C     E
Thirteen men go down to that old graveyard
Am
There's only twelve of them
Dm         Am
Men coming back

[Refrão]

Am       Dm           Am
Now that you heard my story
Am           Dm          C E
Have another shot of the booze
Am          Dm          Am
Anything anybody should ask
          C        E         Am
I got the St James Infirmary blues
          C        E         Am
I got the St James Infirmary blues
