[C] [G] [C] [G]
[C]Jim, [G]Jim, I [F]Wore A Tie [C]Today [F]
The first one that I ever [G]wore [C]
And you have said, that I [F]looked like a dummy [D]
Out of a dry goods [G]store.
Oh [C]Jim, [G]Jim the preacher [F]said a lot of [C]things
But I [F]didn't hear a word he [G]said
My [C]mind kept wanderin' [F]back down the trail
[C]Back to the [G]good times we [C]had.
[G]Ridin' the herd through the [C]sun and the rain [G]
Pannin' for gold on the [C]cuff [G]
We did everything, in the [C]books I guess
And a [D]lot, that they never thought [G]up
Oh [C]Jim, [G]Jim so you're [F]ridin' on a[C]head
Well [F]if that's how it's goin' to [G]be
When [C]you reach those [F]streets paved with gold
[C]Jim stake a [G]claim out for [C]me.
[(C]We [G]di[F]d [C]ev[F]er[G]yt[C]hi[F]ng[C] w[G]e [C)]could for you Jim but
Your fever just wouldn't go down
So we put you in the wagon Jim
And this mornin' we got you back to town
But when we got here you were gone Jim
And there wasn't anything anybody could do
And they dressed you up in a fancy suit and a neck-tie
So today, we wore one too.
Chorus:
