B A Em A I went down to Old Joe's Bar Em C B On the corner by the square All the men were having drinks, same as usual And the same old crowd was there Em A Em A Em A Oh, no...

I went down to that St James Infirmary They had my baby there She was lying on a long, long white table, yeah So cold, so still she was dead Oh no..
