Diamond Joe Bob Dylan
This is a traditional song off Bob Dylan's 1992 abum 'Good As I Been To You'.
Intro: E,E, C,C,C,C, D,D,D,D,D,
[E]Now There's a man you'll hear about
[C]Most anywhere you go,
[D]And his holdings are in Texas
And his name is D[E]iamond Joe.
[E]And he carries all his money
[C]In a diamond-studded jar.
[D]He never took much trouble
With the process of t[E]he law.
[E]I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys,
[C]Did offer him my hand,
[D]He gave a string of horses
So old they could n[E]ot stand.
[E]And I nearly starved to death, boys,
[C]He did mistreat me so,
[D]And I never saved a dollar
In the pay of Dia[E]mond Joe.
[E]Now his bread it was corn dodger
[C]And his meat you couldn't chaw,
[D]Nearly drove me crazy
With the waggin' of h[E]is jaw.
[E]And the tellin' of his story,
[C]Mean to let you know
[D]That there never was a rounder
That could lie like Dia[E]mond Joe.
Instrumental
[E]Now, I tried three times to quit him,
[C]But he did argue so
[D]I'm still punchin' cattle
In the pay of Dia[E]mond Joe
[E]And when I'm called up yonder
[C]And it's my time to go,
[D]Give my blankets to my buddies
Give the fleas to D[E]iamond Joe.
Sorry If wrong. I haven't listened to this song a lot.
Overall, enjoy!
