CJim, GJim, I FWore A Tie CToday F  
The first one that I ever Gwore C  
And you have said, that I Flooked like a dummy  D  
Out of a dry goods Gstore. 
Oh CJim, GJim the preacher Fsaid a lot of Cthings  
But I Fdidn't hear a word he Gsaid  
My Cmind kept wanderin' Fback down the trail 
CBack to the Ggood times we Chad.  
GRidin' the herd through the Csun and the rain  G  
Pannin' for gold on the Ccuff  G  
We did everything, in the Cbooks I guess  
And a Dlot, that they never thought Gup  
Oh CJim, GJim so you're Fridin' on aChead 
Well Fif that's how it's goin' to Gbe  
When Cyou reach those Fstreets paved with gold  
CJim stake a Gclaim out for Cme.

We did everything we 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.

The first one that I ever wore

And you have said, that I looked like a dummy

Out of a dry goods store.

But I didn't hear a word he said

Back to the good times we had.

Ridin' the herd through the sun and the rain

Pannin' for gold on the cuff

We did everything, in the books I guess

And a lot, that they never thought up

C G F C

Oh Jim, Jim so you're ridin' on ahead

We did everything we 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.
