Diamond Joe by Bob Dylan
Diamond Joe
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
E
And his name is Diamond Joe.
E
And he carries all his money
C
In a diamond-studded jar.
D
He never took much trouble
E
With the process of the law.
E
I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys,
C
Did offer him my hand,
D
He gave a string of horses
E
So old they could not stand.
E
And I nearly starved to death, boys,
C
He did mistreat me so,
D
And I never saved a dollar
E
In the pay of Diamond Joe.
E
Now his bread it was corn dodger
C
And his meat you couldn't chaw,
D
Nearly drove me crazy
E
With the waggin' of his jaw.
E
And the tellin' of his story,
C
Mean to let you know
D
That there never was a rounder
E
That could lie like Diamond Joe.
Instrumental
E
Now, I tried three times to quit him,
C
But he did argue so
D
I'm still punchin' cattle
E
In the pay of Diamond Joe
E
And when I'm called up yonder
C
And it's my time to go,
D
Give my blankets to my buddies
E
Give the fleas to Diamond Joe.
