Intro
E,E, C,C,C,C, D,D,D,D,D,
D
Now There's a man you'll hear about
A#
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
A#
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,
A#
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,
A#
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
A#
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,
A#
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,
A#
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
A#
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!
