Simple song, but there are many variants around.
I play it:
Dm-A7 x 2
Bb - F- A7
Dm -A7 x 2
Just finishing a new group songbook with this song in it. Will post the link in a few days. I do a medley with this and Sixteen Tons, too.

Wow - what an excellent resource! Thanks - I will certainly give that a crack along with several others you have kindly put on your site. Cheers

That's a great site Phrunk, thank you.
I can offer my arrangement with some poorly written tabs. It includes the intro from Hugh Laurie's version, which you may find useful. I posted handwritten tabs further down the thread.

Wow. Why did I not know about your web site? This is excellent. Thank you for doing these tabs. And being an old far I love St. James Infirmary.......
Here is a video posted the other day here on UU. Looks so simple especially the prelude. I should get this down in about 2 to 3 years....awesome!

Recovering an old post - I'm starting to focus on this and after mucking around with the tempo I'm just about there I think. Question though - there are a couple of notes '12' in a box. What does this represent? I can't work out if it is a 'twelve' or a one and two - an no idea what the box means. cheers

Hi Phrunk,
Great site I love it. I really like your take on practical finger style. Cool.

sorry for the late response - those boxes are a symbol for natural harmonics, in this case over the 12th fret.
best, phrunk

Just come across this thread.
I use slightly different chords
I [Dm]went down to St. [A7]James Infirm[Dm]ary
To see my [Gm]baby [Dm]there;
She was lying on a [A7]long white [Dm]table,
So young, so[A7]cold so [Dm]fair.
This is how I play it:
It was [Em] down in [B7] old Joe’s [Em7] Bar Room,
On the corner [D] by the [B7] square
The [Em7] drinks where [B7] served as [Em7] usual,
And the [C] usual [B7] crowd was [Em] there.
