Mr Joe chords by Jesse Welles

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: C

🎸 Verse 1:
     C
Hand over the controller man
       F
You're older than Jesus
     Am
In a neolithic scene
       F
On the edges of Egypt
        C
But you don’t diss the dead
        F
And you don’t damn the dying
             Am
I don't make fun of forgetting
        F
I don't taunt folks for trying
        Am
But the mind isn’t able
        Dm
And the body ain’t willing
       D7
On the strings are still tugging
       G              G7
On the puppet they’re killing

🎸 Chorus:
    C
Old man if you’re in there
F
In there Mr. Joe
         Am
Tell the master of puppets
       G7
We all said hello


Harmonica 🎸 Solo:
C  F  Am  G  G7


🎸 Verse 2:
          C
There’s a whole lotta hate
      F
And a whole lot of fighting
           Am
Can’t even go to thanksgiving
        F
Without being divided
       C
I’d be naive to believe
       F
That either side cared
      Am
About me more than power
           F
And not to keep me aware
           Am
I could be under the bombs
          Dm
Livin' in mortal panic
        D7
But I’m USA born
       G     N.C.
It's a lucky accident


🎸 Chorus:
    C
Old man if you’re in there
F
In there Mr. Joe
         Am
Tell the master of puppets
       G7
We all said hello
    C
Old man if you’re in there
         F
And it’s all just your pride
             Am
I guess it’s your choice to make
         G
Cause it sure isn’t mine


🎸 Outro:
C  F  Am  F  C
