I use these chords.

Am, E7, Am
Am, Dm, E7

And I use these lyrics.

It was down at old Joe's barroom
On the corner by the square
The drinks were served as usual
and the usual crowd was there

On my left stood big Joe McKennedy
His eyes were blood shot red
As he turned to the crowd around him
These were the very words he said

You know I went down to that St James Infirm'ry
Just to see my baby there
She was stretched out on a long white table
So pale, so cold so fair

Let her go let her go God bless her
Where ever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
She'll never find a man sweeter then me

Let her go let her go God bless her
Where ever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
She'll never find a man sweeter then me

{instrumental break}

Now when I die won't you bury me?
In my high top Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the gang will know I died standing pat

I want six crapshooters for my pallbearers
Six pretty girls to sing me a song
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon
To raise hell as we roll along

Let her go let her go God bless her
Where ever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
She'll never find a man sweeter then me

Let her go let her go God bless her
Where ever she may be
She can search this whole wide world over
She'll never find a man sweeter then me
