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