Hello all... Does anyone know where I can find Arlo sheet music for Piano? City of New Orleans, St Jame's Infirmary and The Garden song are the 3 specificaly requested by my son for his birthday :D Unfortunately, he told me today when his birthday is March 5th, so it doesn't give me alot of time to hunt..that's why I turned to you good people. I figure if it's out there, one of you guys would know where it is. I would even be happy with a faxed copy of something someone already has. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rose

Will these help?

St. James Infirmary Blues

Traditional, as performed by Arlo Guthrie



Capo 2



Intro: Instrumental Verse



Am (½) E7 (½) Am

It was down at old Joe's bar room

Am (½) Fmaj7 (½) C (½) E7 (½)

At the corner by the square

Am (½) E7 (½) Am (½) Am/G (½)

They were serving drinks as usual

Fmaj7 (½) E7 (½) Am

And the usual crowd was there



Am (½) E7 (½) Am

On my left stood big Joe MacKennedy

Am (½) Fmaj7 (½) C (½) E7 (½)

His eyes were bloodshot red

Am (½) E7 (½) Am (½) Am/G (½)

And as he looked at the gang around him

Fmaj7 (½) E7 (½) Am

These were the very words he said.



Am (½) E7 (½) Am

I went down to St. James Infirmary

Am (½) Fmaj7 (½) C (½) E7 (½)

I saw my baby there

Am (½) E7 (½) Am (½) Am/G (½)

Stretched out on a long, white table

Fmaj7 (½) E7 (½) Am

So young, so cold, so fair



Am (½) E7 (½) Am

Seventeen coal-black horses

Am (½) Fmaj7 (½) C (½) E7 (½)

Hitched to a rubber-tied hack

Am (½) E7 (½) Am (½) Am/G (½)

Seven girls goin' to the graveyard

Fmaj7 (½) E7 (½) Am

Only six of them are coming back













Am (½) E7 (½) Am

Let her go. Let her go, God bless her

Am (½) Fmaj7 (½) C (½) E7 (½)

Wherever she may be

Am (½) E7 (½) Am (½) Am/G (½)

She may search this wide world over

Fmaj7 (½) E7 (½) Am

And never find another man like me



Instrumental Verse x2



Am (½) E7 (½) Am

When I die just bury me

Am (½) Fmaj7 (½) C (½) E7 (½)

In my high-top Stetson hat

Am (½) E7 (½) Am (½) Am/G (½)

Place a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain

Fmaj7 (½) E7 (½) Am

To let the Lord know I died standing pat



Am (½) E7 (½) Am

I want six crap-shooters for my pallbearers

Am (½) Fmaj7 (½) C (½) E7 (½)

A chorus girl to sing me a song

Am (½) E7 (½) Am (½) Am/G (½)

Place a jazz band on my hearse wagon

Fmaj7 (½) E7 (½) Am

To raise hell as we roll along



Am (½) E7 (½) Am

Now that you've heard my story

Am (½) Fmaj7 (½) C (½) E7 (½)

I'll take another shot of booze

Am (½) E7 (½) Am (½) Am/G (½)

And if anyone here should ask you

Fmaj7 (½) E7 (½) Am

I've got the gambler's blues



Instrumental Verse, end on Am

I think I found some City of New Orleans sheet music yrs ago & bought it. It's hidden around here somewhere. I could scan it & put it on here but I'd have to find it first. Lord only knows where it is. Probably hidden in a closet some where. But there was sheet music for it...
