Key: D
Introduction:
D F#7 Bm G
Everybody knows that I'm just a Joe that likes to hang around,
F#m Bm E7 A7
talking about my problems, bringing other people down.
D F#7
Well this may be so, but not long ago,
Bm G
I was sitting on the top of the world.
F#m Bm Em A
Sure is strange how things can turn themselves around.
D F#7
When I'm in need of a little bit of consultation,
Bm A G
used to call on my Uncle John.
F#m Bm E A
Took a trip down to West Virginia, found him dead and gone.
D F#7
And as some sort of silly little consolation,
Bm G
they gave me a ticket back.
F#m Bm G D
What you gonna do with folks like that?
G D
You can talk about bands of angels,
Bm F#m
and they think you come with your soul in your hands
Bm A G
to set their children free.
D F#7
But you talk about little bit of understanding,
Bm A G
things that happen day to day.
F#m Bm A D
Some of you folks sure enough have been good to me.
G D
You come on talking about angel bands,
Bm F#m
and they think you come with your soul in your hands
Bm Am G
just to set their children free.
D F#7
But you talk about little bit of understanding,
Bm G
things that happen day to day.
F#m Bm Am G D
Someone has been good to me.
D F#7 Bm
Nobody but you, nobody but you,
D F#7 Bm
nobody but you, nobody but you.
G D F#7
nobody but you, nobody but you, nobody
Bm G D Bm G D
Say nobody, nobody, nobody
