A GORGEOUS SONG~~~~~

**Capo on the first fret

The plucking in the beginning is just going from an F chord down to a C chord, so
you can just play those, or figure out the plucking (it is pretty simple).

(verse one)

  C                            F
Joe was born in New York City
(F)                           C
Son of Paul and Catherine
(C)                              F
Always down and always out
                   Dm                         G
But his 'morrow's always seemed just fine
(chorus)

Am                      Dm
There will be bigotry
           Am                           Dm
And there will be open minds
Am                    Dm
There will be days of peace
           F                           Dm
You'll never have the time
C                             Dm
As long as you keep a straight face
  F               Dm                       C
I will be there when you die
(C)                         Dm
As long as you keep a straight face
  F              Dm
I will be there when you die

More of the plucking that was at the beginning comes between the chorus and
second verse.

(verse two)

  C                     F
I was born in East Kentucky
(F)                                   C
Home of where the grass is dyed
(C)                              F
Always down and always out
                   Dm                         G
But my 'morrow's always seemed just fine
