Rye Whiskey Joe
(D) G D Em Em7
In an old hobo jungle on the south side of town,
C D
All my friends settled down for a meal
G D Em Em7
With two cans of bacon and an old loaf of bread
C D
Anything anybody could steal
Em Bm
And a bottle of burgundy found its way 'round
Em D
For tonight everybody was low
G D Em
From the passing of Joseph McSweeney
C D G D7
Everyone called him Rye Whiskey Joe
G D Em
Ch: Oh, Rye Whiskey Joe,
Em7 C D
There's happiness somewhere for you,
G D Em
Oh, Rye Whiskey Joe,
Em7 C D C
Somewhere out there in the blue
