D          G            C                  G
Mystery is following me down that lonesome road
    D               G                D     G
And I don`t know my way, my way back home
D             Em              C                G
Someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load
    D               G                D     G    D  G
And I don`t know my way, my way back home

Get down Joe

Put your head down low and let those tears run wild

When the orchestra starts playing
     D
Blue John`s Blues
