Intro A augmentedA D MajorD


MMmmmmm

D MajorD
Well a good ways down the railroad track
G+G
There was this little old rundown shack
A augmentedA         G+G       A augmentedA  A7A7
And in it lived a man I`d never seen....
D MajorD
Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man
G+G
And you better not set foot on his land
A augmentedA          A7A7         D MajorD
But I didn`t think nobody could be that mean....

So I took me out walking down the railroad track
G+G
I was a gonna` go down to that little old shack
     A augmentedA          A7A7          A augmentedA
And just find out if all them things I`d heard was true
      D MajorD
There was a big black dog laying out in the yard
    G+G
And it growled at me and I swallowed hard
   A augmentedA                D MajorD
And I heard somebody say well who are you

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

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

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



We talked `til the sun was clean out of sight
  A augmentedA
And we still talkin` when it come daylight
  BB         A augmentedA       BB  B7B7
And there was just so much we had to say hey
  E MajorE
I`d spent my life in an orphan`s home
  A augmentedA
And just like him I was all alone
BB                  E MajorE
So I said yeah when he asked if I`d stay

Oh we grew closer as time went on
     A augmentedA
And that little old shack it was a happy home
  BB        A augmentedA         BB  B7B7
And we just couldn`t help but fall in love
   E MajorE
That big black dog and that little old shack
A augmentedA
Sittin` down by the railroad track
   BB                 E MajorE
It`s plenty good enough for me and Joshua


A augmentedA   E MajorE
Joshua Joshua
BB              E MajorE
Why you`re just what I been lookin` for
A augmentedA   E MajorE
Joshua Joshua
     BB         A augmentedA E MajorE
You ain`t gonna` be lonesome anymore No No
       BB    E MajorE     A augmentedA   E MajorE  BB
Yod a ladeo layelay Laheee He heee Baba bababa
      E MajorE
Me and Joshua

Me and Joshua
