Come On Joe

       D                           
It's a long hot night and the stars
                   A
 are shinin' kinda extra bright
Sittin' on the back porch glider, 
            D           A
whettin' my appetite
           D                       
Well, I'm a six pack high, I start 
                        A
missin' the light of my baby's eyes
                                    
                        D   (walk up
 to G)
Wasn't it beautiful, the kind of 
soul they said would never die
       G
It's a-muggy in the shack and the 
backwoods are black
          D              A      D
Cause the clouds hid the moon away
    A
The light from my cigarette 
flickerin' in  the dark
       D
Is the only way she knows I'm here
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
    G
And suddenly the sounds of a fiddle 
and accordion
D                         A  
Sweetly begin to play and I can 
                               D   
almost hear her sweet voice say
    G  D  A  D


Chorus:
A
Come on Joe, let's count to ten
D
Pull yourself together again
A                                 
Come on Joe, you gotta get over 
   D               G  D  A  D
this mood you're in
A
Come on Joe, you gotta be strong
D
You're still young and life goes on
A                             
So carry on till we're together 
  D
again

Hey, I know she's right but it's 
hard to fight when you're hurtin' so
I tried to walk out that door but I 
just can't go
With the tears and the laughter in 
every rafter of every room
Wasn't it beautiful, wasn't it the 
kind of happiness in bloom
It's a-muggy in the shack and the 
backwoods are black
Cause the clouds hid the moon away
The light from my cigarette 
flckerin' in  the dark
Is the only way she knows I'm here
And suddenly the sounds of a fiddle 
and accordian
Sweetly begin to play and I can 
almost hear her sweet voice say

Chorus
