I got some of the voicings from the Vegas (9/30/00) Webcast.
The chord titles run below the tab.

My old Jerry was an Arkansas mule
Been everywhere and he ain't no fool
Weighed nine hundred and twenty-two
Done everything a poor mule can do

(chorus)

-JAM over Bb minor-

Jerry's shoulders stood six-foot tall
Pulled more timber than a freight could haul
Workin' heavy old Jerry got sore
Pulled so much he couldn't pull no more

(chorus)

The boss said "Jerry" and it made him jump
Jerry ran and kicked the boss on the rump
My old Jerry was a cool mule
Had it been me I woulda killed that fool

Boss tried to shoot old Jerry in the head
Jerry took that bullet and he stomped him dead
Stomped that boss 'til he heard him scream
Sure don't care he was so damn mean

(chorus 2x)
