  Yes.

  select t1.*

  from dbo.table1 t1

  LEFT JOIN dbo.table2 t2

  ON t1.col1 = t2.col1

  LEFT JOIN dbo.table3 t3

  ON t2.col2 = t3.col1

  LEFT JOIN dbo.table4 t4

  ON t3.col2 = t4.col1

  etc.

  If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
