^CJim, ^GJim, I ^FWore A Tie ^CToday ^F The first one that I ever ^Gwore ^C And you have said, that I ^Flooked like a dummy ^D Out of a dry goods ^Gstore.

Oh ^CJim, ^GJim the preacher ^Fsaid a lot of ^Cthings But I ^Fdidn't hear a word he ^Gsaid My ^Cmind kept wanderin' ^Fback down the trail ^CBack to the ^Ggood times we ^Chad.

^GRidin' the herd through the ^Csun and the rain ^G Pannin' for gold on the ^Ccuff ^G We did everything, in the ^Cbooks I guess And a ^Dlot, that they never thought ^Gup Oh ^CJim, ^GJim so you're ^Fridin' on a^Chead Well ^Fif that's how it's goin' to ^Gbe When ^Cyou reach those ^Fstreets paved with gold ^CJim stake a ^Gclaim out for ^Cme.

(C G F C F G C F C G C) We did everything we could for you Jim but Your fever just wouldn't go down So we put you in the wagon Jim And this mornin' we got you back to town But when we got here you were gone Jim And there wasn't anything anybody could do And they dressed you up in a fancy suit and a neck-tie So today, we wore one too. Chorus:

Highwaymen - Jim i wore a tie today
