E|--1,| I hung up chicken bone 

                 A           G D
On the old chandelier at the Sawdust Saloon
        G                  D
Medical exam cleared me to fight
                A         G            D
My mother said stay and I thought that I might
                     G                  D
When my brother said stay that's when I went
           G     D             A
'Cause you never know who might go in your stead
                  G                  D
So I showed up on time to meet my platoon
    G         D                  A      D
And hung up a bone in the Sawdust Saloon

              G                    D
With Jimmy Tassone, I used to play ball
                   A            G          D
Now he sits here beside me and talks like a man
             G                             D
Looks like a man, he says he shoots like a man
                A                    G            D
But no medal of honor could make his Mom move back in
                      G                            D
So he said, "My drunk father, I'll be back for you soon."
    G           D           A      D         D7
But Jimmy still hangs in the Sawdust Saloon

              G                            D
And I love my country with a deep frenzied love
    G               D          A
Her legs spread out wide and her nose turned up
                  G                  D
So I showed up on time to meet my platoon
    G         D                  A      D
And hung up a bone in the Sawdust Saloon

                  G                       D
The candle in the window, the coin in the well
                  A              G           D
The break in your voice, and the crack in the bell
               G                       D
All raise up a round, without saying a word
                  A               G            D
To them old dusty bones and those good men that served
                 G                D
Who showed up on time to meet the platoon
    G           D           A      D         D
And hung up the bones at the Sawdust Saloon
