Chords
I have seen this tab a few places and thought the chords were slightly off, so I've created this version.
This is standard tuning, but sounds fine if you like to tune down a half step.
First tab ever, so please be kind.
[Intro]
C Am F C
[Verse 1]
C Am Now there's a man you'll hear about F C Most anywhere you go, Am And his holdings are in Texas F C And his name is Diamond Joe. C Am And he carries all his money F C In a diamond-studded jar. Am He never took much trouble F C With the process of the law.
[Verse 2]
C Am I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys, F C Did offer him my hand, Am He gave me a string of horses F C So old they could not stand. C Am And I nearly starved to death, boys, F C He did mistreat me so, Am And I never saved a dollar F C In the pay of Diamond Joe.
[Verse 3]
C Am Now his bread it was corn dodger F C And his meat you couldn't chaw, Am Nearly drove me crazy F C With the waggin' of his jaw. C Am And the tellin' of his story, F C Mean to let you know Am That there never was a rounder F C That could lie like Diamond Joe.
[Verse 4]
C Am Now, I tried three times to quit him, F C But he did argue so Am I'm still punchin' cattle F C In the pay of Diamond Joe. C Am And when I'm called up yonder F C And it's my time to go, Am Give my blankets to my buddies F C Give the fleas to Diamond Joe.
