[Verse 1]
[C#]Got[D][C#][D][C#][D][C#][D][C#][D]
a mandolin [C#]for the second hand
[D]From a
[C#]Mr.
[D]Chisholm [C#]in the local band
Had [F#]the sweetest tone, resonant and low
Of[D]ten [C#]made me [D]wonder [C#]why he let it go
If [D]you have the [B]time,
[F#]how they parted comp[C#]any
And he offered it for sale makes
a fascinating tale
[D]Poor
Mr.
[C#]Chisholm [F#]played on the mandolin
[C#]But [D]he couldn't win
[Bb]cause [B]he [F#]tried to swing
An[C#]d he broke [D]a string every time
[Gb]Poor[G][Db][A][D]
[Db]Mr.
Chisholm [Gb]just couldn't dig the [D]jive
When he did arrive [B]at [D]the [E]proper note
[C#]He arrived by bo[D]at e[C#]very time
[D]He [Db]tried [Dbdim]to jazz up his ma[Db]ndolin
But [Dbdim]nev er could quite[Gb] con t[Db]rol it
He al[C#dim]ways brought by
[D]and handle [B]in
[E]When it took a lick,
[C#]he always [D]broke [A]a pick
[D]Poor
Mr.
[C#]Chisholm, you're [F#]quite
a gay old [C#]blade
With your ser[Bb]enade, but your [E]carnage
[F#]Jack fed a truck[D] gone back to
Dubuque
Get a youth, [B]you [C#]disgrace your kin
On the [Eb]mandolin [Ab]every [C#]time[D]
