Chords
Bm A Bm F#m Bm A Oh, the night before Larry was stretched Bm D Well the boys they all paid him a visit Bm A A bit in their sacks too they fetched Bm A E For they sweated their duds till they ris' it Bm A For Larry was always the lad Bm A D A When a boy was condemned to the Squeezer Bm A Would fence all the duds that he had Bm A F#m For to help his poor friend to a sneezer-- A F#m -- And warm his ol' gob 'fore he died
