Diamond Joe chords

[INTRO]
[G] [C] [Em] [C] [G]

[VERSE 1]
[G]Now there's a man you'll [Em]hear about
Most [C]anywhere you [G]go,
And his holdings are in [C]Texas
And his name is Diamond [G]Joe.

[G]And he carries all his [C]money
In a diamond-studded [G]jar.
He never took much t[Em]rouble
With the [C]process of the [G]law.

[VERSE 2]
[G]I hired out to Diamond [Em]Joe, boys,
Did [C]offer him my [G]hand,
He gave a string of [C]horses
So old they could not [G]stand.

[G]And I nearly starved to [C]death, boys,
He did mistreat me [G]so,
And I never saved a [Em]dollar
In the [C]pay of Diamond J[G]oe.

[VERSE 3]
[G]Now his bread it was corn [Em]dodger
And his [C]meat you couldn't [G]chaw,
Nearly drove me [C]crazy
With the waggin' of his [G]jaw.

[G]And the tellin' of his [C]story,
Mean to let you [G]know
That there never was a [Em]rounder
That could [C]lie like Diamond [G]Joe.

[VERSE 4]
[G]Now, I tried three times to [Em]quit him,
But he [C]did mistreat me [G]so
I'm still punchin' [C]cattle
In the pay of Diamond [G]Joe

[G]And when I'm called up [C]yonder
And it's my time to [G]go,
Give my blankets to my [Em]buddies
Give the [C]fleas to Diamond J[G]oe.
