Intro:
C majorC

Verse:
C majorC
Old Joe is a man who just wanders around
C majorC
He says he moves much better when he's on his own
                      G+G
And he walks the lonely roads from town to town
    FF     E minorEm  DmDm     G+G   C majorC
And he pushes his home around in a broken cart
    FF     E minorEm   DmDm       G+G     C majorC
And he wears his ragged clothes and he plays the part

Chorus:
    FF   C/EC/E   Dm7Dm7        G+G    C majorC
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
      FF        Dm7Dm7   G+G C majorC
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway

Verse:
C majorC
Old Joe is the man who'll fix the door
C majorC
When the hinges break and it catches the floor
                          G+G
Then he'll spend the night in the barn on a bed of straw
    FF    E minorEm    DmDm      G+G   C majorC
In the morning he'll be gone when you try to find him
   FF    E minorEm   DmDm       G+G    C majorC
Some flowers by the door is all he leaves behind him

Chorus:
    FF   C/EC/E   Dm7Dm7        G+G    C majorC
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
      FF        Dm7Dm7   G+G C majorC
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway

Verse:
C majorC
When it's winter time and the wind blows cold
C majorC
And the sheep are settled in the fold
                G+G
People wonder where the old man goes
     FF  E minorEm    DmDm      G+G     C majorC
'Cause he disappears for two or three months or more
        FF      E minorEm   DmDm      G+G   C majorC
Well, he'll be back on the road in spring, just like before

Chorus:
    FF   C/EC/E   Dm7Dm7        G+G    C majorC
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
      FF        Dm7Dm7   G+G C majorC
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway

Verse:
C majorC
When I was a boy he was an old man then
C majorC
And the old folks knew him when they were young
                G+G
And now I'm grown, he's still around
 FF      E minorEm    DmDm    G+G    C majorC
I wonder if he's one of many that look the same
  FF     E minorEm   DmDm     G+G   C majorC
Or maybe he's just a small part of the game

Chorus:
    FF   C/EC/E   Dm7Dm7        G+G    C majorC
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
      FF        Dm7Dm7   G+G C majorC
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway

Instrumental:
C majorC      G+G
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G C majorC
FF E minorEm DmDm G+G C majorC

Chorus:
    FF   C/EC/E   Dm7Dm7        G+G    C majorC
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
      FF        Dm7Dm7   G+G C majorC
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway
     FF        Dm7Dm7   G+G C majorC
No, he's not too keen on talking anyway
