[Verse 1]
D G D
Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
D G A
He played it from the night-time to the peaceful early morn
G D A
He soothed souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
D G A D
And they all looked very happy in the morning
[Verse 2]
D G D
But Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
D G A
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many powers
G D A
So sad to see the grieving of the people he was leaving
D G A D
And he took the road for God knows in the morning
[Chorus]
D G D
We walked him to the station in the rain
D G A
We kissed him as we put him on the train
G D G
And we sang him a song of times long gone
D A D A D
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again, (far away!)
D
()
Sad to say I must be on my way
G D A D
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away, (far away!)
D
()
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
G D A D
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
[Verse 3]
D G D
The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
D G A
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
G D A
I took the jeers and drank the beers and I crawled back home at dawn
D G A D
And ended up a barman in the morning
[Verse 4]
D G D
I plied the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
D G A
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
G D A
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
D G A D
Some people left for heaven without warning
[Chorus]
D G D
We walked him to the station in the rain
D G A
We kissed him as we put him on the train
G D G
And we sang him a song of times long gone
D A D A D
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again, (far away!)

[Verse 5]
D G D
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone
D G A
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
G D A
Some people they are scared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
D G A D
And took the road for heaven in the morning
[Chorus]
D G D
We walked him to the station in the rain
D G A
And we kissed him as we put him on the train
G D G
And we sang him a song of times long gone
