This is tuned a half step down
D#G#C#F#A#D#
(Chords are written as if it were in standard tuning, for instance G=320033 C=032010 etc.)
G*= 202022 because i forgot what chord that is
I believe all good people should learn this song.

Where did you come from and where did you go?

The rattlers are still and the ashes are cold.
GCDEm
The stage, it is empty; the Union Halls, dark.
CEmDG
And the lights are so bright that I can't see the stars.
DEm
Ain't no heaven and hell in the Great By-And-By
CGDG
Where the dead they are laugh-ing, singin' and spillin' their wine.
GCDEm
Seattle to Spokane, Missoula to Butte:
CEmGD
The spare-changer's stories so boring and true.
GCDEm
Now the world ain't so lonesome without you around.
CEmDG
Hey, tell me, where can you camp where you can't hear a sound?
DEm
Ain't no heaven and hell in the Great By-And-By
CGDG
Where the dead they are laugh-ing, singin' and spillin' their wine.
D G G* Em
Oh, the stories we'll tell on our last and long ri-ii-hide
CGDG
Where the dead they are laugh-ing, singin' and spillin' their wine.

GCDEm
Now that God's gone and the Devil's in a hole,
CEmGD
It's Aces, Straights, Flushes with Johnny and Joe.
GCDEm
No masters, no Yard Bulls to chase a boy down.
CEmDG
He's gone to where the bums go when they're run out of town.
DEm
Ain't no heaven and hell in the Great By-And-By
CGDG
Where the dead they are laugh-ing, singin' and spillin' their wine.

Say "So Long" to the rails, from the sage to the pine,
CGDG
While the dead they are laugh-ing, singin' and spillin' their wine.
DEm
Oh, the stories we'll tell on our last and long ride
CGDG
Where the dead they are laugh-ing, singin' and spillin' their wine.
GCDEm
Where do you come from and where did you go?
