A Guy Named Joe - (c) Joe Stevens http://www.coyotegrace.com

Em            Cadd9                  D
The wind has come to take me down a notch,
Cadd9                Em
A peg, or a level or two
           Cadd9
The swollen moon has got 
     D                Cadd9
Her sights set on me too


Em         Cadd9             D
The devil sun gonna take me higher
Cadd9                    Em
Higher than I ever been before
          Cadd9          
I told my mama, no
D                     Cadd9
I can’t take no more
                 Em             Cadd9   D  Cadd9
I can’t take no more

Em             Cadd9           D
The wind has come to take me down
             Cadd9                        Em
To the empty farm where I grew up on the land
              Cadd9           D
I built this childhood for a boy
         Cadd9         
With my own two hands

Em      Cadd9             D
I look around, them bony trees
           Cadd9                Em
And sunken cows, there’s almost snow
               Cadd9
Nobody knows nothing
D                       Cadd9          Em   Cadd9  D   Cadd9
Except what me and the crow do know



D            G         Cadd9
Who am I to change my life?
D            G         Cadd9
Who am I to fuck with form?
D            G         Cadd9
Who am I to weather a storm?
Cadd9  D  Cadd9
But I go slow
Cadd9  D  Cadd9
I said goodbye to everyone I know
Cadd9  D  Cadd9
And one morning I awoke
                 D
And I was this guy named Joe


Em            Cadd9            D
The wind has come to take me down to the field
Cadd9                        Em
To dream by the light of the moon
            Cadd9          D
No, there ain’t no coming home,
         Cadd9           Em
No going back, skipping June

Em            Cadd9               D               
I sit by the water down by the freeway
            Cadd9                 Em
The cotton is hot and the corn is high
                           Cadd9
Don’t know what I’m going to do
        D            Cadd9
With myself tonight


D            G         Cadd9
Who am I to change my name?
D                  G           Cadd9
Some things will always stay the same
D                  G           Cadd9
There really ain’t no one to blame
D                G                Cadd9
Can’t expect nobody to live in that pain
Cadd9           D     Cadd9
But I know you miss me so
Cadd9              D         Cadd9
I said goodbye to everyone I know
Cadd9      D      Cadd9
And one morning I awoke
                D
And I was this guy named Joe...
