[Verse 1]
    C
I'm tired, Joey Boy
              F             C
While you're out with the sheep
              C
My life is so troubled
      D           G
Now I can't go to sleep
        C           C
I would walk myself out
        F              Fm6
But the streets are so dark
        C             C
I shall wait till the morning
    G           C
And walk in the park

[Verse 2]
     C
This life is so simple
     F         C
When one is at home and I'm never 
complaining
             D          G
When there's work to be done
   C                          
Oh I'm tired, Joey Boy, of the 
 F          Fm6
makings of men
        C          G         C
I would like to be cheerful again

[Chorus]
  C
Ambition will take you
    F            C
And ride you too far, and
                          D      
Conservatism bring you to boredom 
      G
once more

[Verse 3]
    C
Sit down by the river
    F                C
And watch the stream flow, recall 
all the dreams
         D            G
That you once used to know
    C
The things you've forgotten,
     F         Fm6
That took you away,
   C            G            C
To pastures not greener, but meaner

[Verse 4]
                      F         
Love of the simple is all that I 
 C
need,
                           D       
I've no time for schism or lovers 
  G
of greed.
   C                      F       
Go up to the mountain, go up to 
  Fm6
the glen,
      C
Where silence will touch you,
    G               C
And heartbreak will mend.
