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