Nice and simple song with just two chord progressions. Listen to the song for the strum pattern and timing
Joel adds some embellishments between chords to keep things interesting.



Verse:

G                     C        G
You could cry wolf or cry me a river
C                       G
Knock on my door with a message to deliver
C                  G          F
Jameson's whiskey is hard on my liver
Em                D       G
Tell me somethin' I don't know



  G               C         G
I close my eyes, asleep on a pillow
     C              G
When someone dies, I weep like a willow
C                  G           F
Blow 'em a kiss and say bye-bye friend
    Em           D     G
You're never coming back again



Chorus:


    C
But that's alright that's OK
   G
If you're still standing that's the price you pay
Em                  Bm
When you're gone you don't come back
       C                      D
So you roll like a train on a one way track



Verse:

  G                  C       G
I lost my way when I lost my love
C                          G
Couldn't make sense of the stars above
C                                      G        F
She's the little dipper that I've been thinkin' of
          Em           D    G
And she's never comin' back again


     G                    C               G
When she said goodbye the words they came quick
    C                       G
She spit 'em out fast and I felt so sick
          C                           G     F
Now there ain't nothin' magic in this magic trick
            Em           D    G
Cause she's never comin' back again


Chorus:

    C
But that's alright that's OK
    G
She never really knew me anyway
Em                          Bm
She taped two regrets to my microphone stand
         C                       D
Said you cant hold the hand of a rock'n'roll man

A Joni Mitchell song comin' outta my speakers
C                           G       F
Goin' to the shop for a new pair of sneakers
Em      D            G
Then Im gonna take a walk.

Let's rock

        G                        C      G
Well my sneakers wore out and my guitar broke

Sometimes life puts a stick in your spokes

Everybody thinks that I'm makin' a joke
        Em         D       G

Chuck Berry sings my Ding-a-ling-a-lingggg

I lost my map when I lost my phone
C                     G
Gotta get on the road gotta get gone

Ain't gotta a clue how to get back home

I guess I better ask at the bar
