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