A Guy Named Joe

G                          C     
I stepped a-shore in Tokyo 
        D7
feeling kinda blue
    G                        D7   
For I was trying to forget a love 
           G
that was untrue
When by my side I found a lad his 
C               D
dark eyes all aglow
   G                            
He looked at me so hopefully and 
 D                 G
said is your name Joe


[Chorus]
    C                           
For Joe's my daddy's name and he 
      G
will soon come sailing cross the see
   C                               
He said he'd come back by and by 
  A7              D7   D7
and Joe would never lie

    G                           
The warship took my dad away and 
 C               D
mommy needs him so
    G                              
And every night I hear her pray 
  D7              G
dear God where is my Joe

[Verse 2]
Somewhere back home a guy named Joe 
   C                D7
is probably sipping beer
     G                             
Does he know how important he could
 D            G
 be if he was here
                              C  
Has he forgot this little lad who 
                 D7
needs his daddy so
  G                                
A promise made a debt unpaid 
  D               G
they're waitin' for you Joe


[Chorus]
    C                            
Yes Joe's his daddy's name and he 
      G
will never sail across that sea
  C                             A7
A stranger in a foreign land he 
                D      D7
let his heart get out of hand
  G                             C 
A warship took his dad away and 
                D
he's too young to know
     G                             
That off across the ocean there's a
 D                  G    G
 million guys named Joe
