[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 But 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 for God knows 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 D Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again, (far away!) (D) Sad to say I must be on my way G D A D So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away, (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 MacLennane
[Verse 3]
D G D The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man D G A I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane G D A I took the jeers and drank the beers and I crawled back home at dawn D G A D And 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 D Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again, (far away!) (D) Sad to say I must be on my way G D A D So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away, (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 MacLennane
[Instrumental]
G D A D
[Verse 5]
D G D When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone D G A He asked me all the details of the train that they went on G D A Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked D G A D And took the road for heaven in the morning
[Chorus]
D G D We walked him to the station in the rain D G A And 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 D Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again, (far away!) (D) Sad to say I must be on my way G D A D So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away, (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 MacLennane
[Outro]
