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