Verse 1
A
In
D
A
an old hobo jungle
D
Bm
on the south side of town,
G
A
all my friends settled down for a meal.
D
A
D
Two cans of bacon and
Bm
an old loaf of bread,
G
A
anything anybody could steal.
Bm
And a bottle of burgundy
F#m
found its way round,
Bm
A
tonight everybody was low.
D
A
From the passing of Joseph McSweeney,
Bm
G
A
D
A
everyone called him Rye Whiskey Joe.
D
A
Bm
Oh, Rye Whiskey Joe,
G
A
there's happiness somewhere for you.
D
A
D
Bm
Oh, rye whiskey Joe,
G
A
D
somewhere out there in the blue
A
D
A
D
Now he hopped off the freight train
G
A
With a sort of a look in his eye
D
A
With a smile on his face
D
Bm
and an old canvas pack
G
A
That was half full of table -talk pies
Bm
And he asked us if he
F#m
could just stay for a while
Bm
A
for to rest before he traveled on
D
A
But he brought us much more
A
D
A
singing this song
D
A
Bm
Oh Rye Whiskey Joe
G
A
There's happiness somewhere for you
D
A
Bm
Oh, Rye Whiskey Joe,
G
A
D
A
somewhere out there in the blue.
D
A
D
After eating in the evening,
A
Bm
we'd all settle down,
G
A
and we'd listen while he sang his songs.
D
A
With a bottle of whiskey
D
Bm
there close by his side
G
that he shared when the time came around.
A
Bm
And the light in his eyes
F#m
was as warm as the fire
Bm
A
And his hair was as black as the coal
D
A
And we listened while he
D
A
Bm
told his boldly old tales
G
A
And we all called him Rye
D
A
Whiskey Joe
D
A
Bm
Oh, Rye Whiskey Joe
G
A
There's happiness somewhere for you
D
A
D
Bm
Old rye whiskey jug,
G
A
D
somewhere out there in the blue
A
D
Now he closed his eyes
A
Bm
early one morning,
G
A
they would never open again
D
A
Bm
And we buried his gear along with him,
G
A
said a prayer, filled the grave and in bed
Bm
F#m
I found a letter in the tall grass nearby
Bm
from a camp where he'd
D
A
He said, thank you, Mr. Joseph,
Bm
for all that you've done
G
A
And good luck to you,
D
A
Rye Whiskey Joe
D
A
Bm
Oh, Rye Whiskey Joe
G
A
There's happiness somewhere for you
D
A
Bm
Pour our whiskey, Joe,
G
A
D
Somewhere out there in the blue.
Bm
G
A
Somewhere out there in
D
Bm
the blue.
G
A
D
Somewhere out there in the blue.
you
