Chords with lyrics

Song  - Joshua

D MajorD
Well a good ways down the railroad track
G+G
There was this little old rundown shack
A augmentedA
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                  D MajorD
I didn't think nobody could be that mean
D MajorD
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                     D MajorD
And just find out if all them things I'd heard was true

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
His beard and his hair was long and black
  A augmentedA                D MajorD
And he was the biggest man I'd ever seen

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 snooping 'round my place
  G+G
And I saw a smile come across his face
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 doing living here all alone
G+G   D MajorD
Joshua Joshua
A augmentedA            D MajorD
Ain't you got nobody to call your own
  A augmentedA   D MajorD
No no no no

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

Oh we grew closer as time went on
     G+G
And that little old shack it was a happy home
A augmentedA
And we just couldn't help but fall in love
D MajorD
That big black dog and that little old shack
G+G
Sitting down by the railroad track
   A augmentedA               D MajorD
It's plenty good enough for me and Joshua

G+G   D MajorD
Joshua Joshua
  A augmentedA             D MajorD
Why you're just what I've been looking for
G+G   D MajorD
Joshua Joshua
A augmentedA              D MajorD
You ain't gonna be lonesome anymore
A augmentedA
No no


A augmentedA     G+G D MajorD
Me and Joshua
Me and Joshua
Me and Joshua yeah yeah
