Well J	immy played harmonica in the p	ub where I was bo	rn

	D	G	A
He pla	yed it from the night-time to the pe	aceful early m	orn

	G	D	A
He soo	thed souls of psychos and the m	en who had the ho	rn

and they al	l looked very ha	ppy in the m	ornin	g

VERSE 2

Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours

Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many powers

So sad to see the grieving of the people he was leaving

And he took the road from nowhere in the morning

CHORUS

	D	G	D
We wa	lked him to the sta	tion in the ra	in

	D	G	A
We ki	ssed him as we pu	t him on the tr	ain

	G	D	G
And we s	ang him a so	ng of times long go	ne

	D	A	D	A
though we kn	ew that we'd be s	eeing him aga	in

	D
S	ad to say I must be on my way

	G	D	A
so bu	y me beer and wh	iskey 'cause I'm go	ing far away

	D
I'd li	ke to think I'll be returning when I can

	G	D	A	D
to the grea	test little bo	ozer and to Sa	lly McLe	nnane

VERSE 3

The years passed by the times had changed Igrew to be a man

I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally McLennane

I took the jeers and drank the beers and I crawled back home at dawn

And ended up a barman in the morning

VERSE 4

I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down

I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown

I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away

Some people left for heaven without warning

CHORUS

VERSE 5

When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they where gone

He asked me all the details of the train that they went on

Some people they arescared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked

And took the road for heaven in the morning
