A augmentedA GORGEOUS SONG~~~~~
**Capo on the first fret
The plucking in the beginning is just going from an 
FF chord down to a 
C majorC chord, so
you can just play those, or figure out the plucking (it is pretty simple).
(verse one)
C majorC FF
Joe was born in New York City
(FF) C majorC
Son of Paul and Catherine
(C majorC) FF
Always down and always out
DmDm 
G+G
But his 'morrow's always seemed just fine
(chorus)
A minorAm DmDm
There will be bigotry
A minorAm DmDm
And there will be open minds
A minorAm DmDm
There will be days of peace
FF DmDm
You'll never have the time
C majorC DmDm
As long as you keep a straight face
FF DmDm C majorC
I will be there when you die
(C majorC) DmDm
As long as you keep a straight face
FF DmDm
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 majorC FF
I was born in East Kentucky
(FF) C majorC
Home of where the grass is dyed
(C majorC) FF
Always down and always out
DmDm G+G
But my 'morrow's always seemed just fine
