Come On Joe

	  		  
       D                                              A 
It's a long hot night and the stars are shinin' kinda extra bright 
                                              D           A 
Sittin' on the back porch glider, whettin' my appetite 
           D                                               A 
Well, I'm a six pack high, I start 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 
    G 
And suddenly the sounds of a fiddle and accordion 
D                         A                                 D       G  D  A  D 
Sweetly begin to play and I can almost hear her sweet voice say 
 
Chorus: 
A 
Come on Joe, let's count to ten 
D 
Pull yourself together again 
A                                    D               G  D  A  D 
Come on Joe, you gotta get over this mood you're in 
A 
Come on Joe, you gotta be strong 
D 
You're still young and life goes on 
A                               D 
So carry on till we're together 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
