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
