Intro
E,E, C,C,C,C, D,D,D,D,D,
F#
Now There's a man you'll hear about
D
Most anywhere you go,
E
And his holdings are in Texas
F#
And his name is Diamond Joe.
F#
And he carries all his money
D
In a diamond-studded jar.
E
He never took much trouble
F#
With the process of the law.
F#
I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys,
D
Did offer him my hand,
E
He gave a string of horses
F#
So old they could not stand.
F#
And I nearly starved to death, boys,
D
He did mistreat me so,
E
And I never saved a dollar
F#
In the pay of Diamond Joe.
F#
Now his bread it was corn dodger
D
And his meat you couldn't chaw,
E
Nearly drove me crazy
F#
With the waggin' of his jaw.
F#
And the tellin' of his story,
D
Mean to let you know
E
That there never was a rounder
F#
That could lie like Diamond Joe.
Instrumental
F#
Now, I tried three times to quit him,
D
But he did argue so
E
I'm still punchin' cattle
F#
In the pay of Diamond Joe
F#
And when I'm called up yonder
D
And it's my time to go,
E
Give my blankets to my buddies
F#
Give the fleas to Diamond Joe.
Sorry If wrong. I haven't listened to this song a lot.
Overall, enjoy!
