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
