Intro  A  D


MMmmmmm

D
Well a good ways down the railroad track
G
There was this little old rundown shack
A                 G             A    A7
And in it lived a man I`d never seen....
D
Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man
G
And you better not set foot on his land
A                    A7                 D
But I didn`t think nobody could be that mean....

So I took me out walking down the railroad track
G
I was a gonna` go down to that little old shack
         A                    A7                   A
And just find out if all them things I`d heard was true
            D
There was a big black dog laying out in the yard
       G
And it growled at me and I swallowed hard
      A                               D
And I heard somebody say well who are you

Oh and there he stood in the door of that shack
        G
And His beard and his hair was long and black
    A          G                    A
And he was the biggest man I`d ever seen
        D
When he spoke his voice was low and deep
    G
But he just didn`t frighten me
       A                             D
`Cause somehow I just knew he wasn`t mean

He said what you doing snoopin` `round my place
    G
And I saw a smile come across his face
A                      G              A
So I smiled back and I told him who I was
D
He said come on in and pull you up a chair
G
You might as well since you already here
    A                           D
And he said you can call me Joshua



G      D
Joshua Joshua
A                          D
Whatcha` doin` livin` here all alone
G      D
Joshua Joshua
A                       G         D
Ain`t you got nobody to call your own
   E
No no no no




We talked `til the sun was clean out of sight
    A
And we still talkin` when it come daylight
    B                 A              B   B7
And there was just so much we had to say hey
    E
I`d spent my life in an orphan`s home
    A
And just like him I was all alone
B                                   E
So I said yeah when he asked if I`d stay

Oh we grew closer as time went on
         A
And that little old shack it was a happy home
    B                A                 B   B7
And we just couldn`t help but fall in love
     E
That big black dog and that little old shack
A
Sittin` down by the railroad track
     B                                 E
It`s plenty good enough for me and Joshua



A      E

B                            E
Why you`re just what I been lookin` for
A      E

          B                  A  E

             B        E         A     E    B
