[D][Bm][D][G]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
Somewhat over[Bbaug]whelmed by the
enormous [D]di mensions of her lovely [F#m]breast
The [G]rector turned his face from Mother
Nature back [D]to God[Bbaug][D]
"Therefore, [Bm]in the shadow of the
[Bbaug]valley we[D] are truly truly bl[F#m]essed-
We [G]now return our brother to [B]the sod!"

[Verse 2]
[Em]Poor old Ned!- who worked the line
six [C]days a week
Yes [Em]poor old Ned!- words come
to mind you start to speak

is falling you re[D#]call [Gm]how
Poor old Ned! is [E]surely dead!

[E]Then they brought him home
to that old bosky dell
he knew so very [Abm]well
And [A]laid him down for succor simply in
a box of Southern [E]pine[Eaug][E]

And wish that rising sun would ever [C#]shine
And sing Crying [F#]time

[E]
Old Ned was a veteran and better
an the best in [G#m]forty- one
[A]When blue Hawaii glistened like a
diamond [Am]light[E]s the sun[Eaug]
[E]That said, when teh [Abaug]Nissan plant was built
[E]down by [Abm]the run
[A]He knew his life had only just [C#]begun

[Verse 6]
[F#m]Poor old Ned!- a child tugs on
a tattered sleeve
Yes poor old Ned!- and piled

into that night one white
Chrysanthemum- [F#]His kingdom come!
