Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

G9             C         Dm7  C        G7             C
It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
        G9     C              Dm7        C      G7        G9
He's got a smile that makes the lilac wanta grow
                  G7         G#7          G7      Dm7      G7
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
G7/13-        C       C#dim                 Dm7 G9
When they know little Joe's passing by
G7/13- G7        C          Dm7    C          G7       C6
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare



    G9             C         Dm7  C        G7             C
Then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
        G9     C              Dm7        C      G7        G9
Troubles fly away and life is easy go
                  G7         G#7          G7      Dm7      G7
Does he love me good, that's all I need to know
G7/13-        C       C#dim                 Dm7 G9
Seems like happiness, is just a thing called Joe
G7/13-  C    C#dim  Dm7 G9
Little Joe, little Joe, little Joe
