N.C.  D            G          D       Em
Jimmy Wilson had a glass eye, I could see it
       D             Em
And he stuttered sometimes
       D        G          D     Em
And he needed a girlfriend night times
D           Em         G    D
Didn't know how to go about it
Em         D  G    Em         G  D
Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson.
 
 
N.C.    D            G            D      Em
All the boys used to tease him, I know I did it
    D         Em
And he was my friend
   D              G      D       Em
At school we were always close together
D        Em           G    D
Hardly a day I didn't see him
Em         D  G    Em         G  D
Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson.
 
 
BRIDGE:
Em         B          C            B
He used to go out for walks on his own
     Am        B          Em 
With no-one to talk to at all
                 B             C            B
He'd walk in the park 'til the evening grew dark
     Am              B        Em   -Am-Em
Just feeling quite incredibly small.

N.C.   D              G        D      Em
He was sitting in the park one Sunday evening
 D           Em
Around about five
      D           G       D     Em
When along came a lady, a total stranger
D            Em          G    D
Wanted young Jimmy to go with her
Em         D  G    Em         G  D
Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson.
 
 
N.C. D                G        D            Em
Well she was so persuasive and seemed quite friendly
   D        Em
So he went along
        D            G      D        Em
And the lady who was lonely gave him tea
    D           Em         G    D
And she was his friend for ever after
Em         D  G    Em         G  D
Poor Jimmy Wilson, poor Jimmy Wilson.
