D G Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where D I was born D G He played it from the night-time to the peaceful A early morn G D He soothed souls of psychos and the men A who had the horn D G A D and they all looked very happy in the morning But Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many Powers So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving And he took the road for God knows in the morning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again Chorus: (Far away!) I'm sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer or whiskey, 'cause I'm going far away (Far away!) I'd like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane The years passed by, the times had changed, I grew to be a man I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn And ended up a barman in the morning I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away And some people left for heaven without warning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again Chorus: (Far away!) I'm sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer or whiskey cause I'm going far away (Far away!) I'd like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane When Jimmy came back home He was surprised that they were gone He asked me all the details Of the train that they went on Some people they are scared to croak But Jimmy drank until he choked Took the road for heaven in the morning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again Chorus: (Far away!) I'm sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer or whiskey cause I'm going far away (Far away!) I'd like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
