                THE JOKER
               JAMIE WEBSTER

CAPO: NONE

INTRO:
BMaj7Bmaj7 BMaj7Bmaj7 C#m7C#m7 C#m7C#m7
BMaj7Bmaj7 BMaj7Bmaj7 C#m7C#m7 C#m7C#m7

VERSE:
BMaj7Bmaj7                    C#m7C#m7
Can`t seem to fit the mould no matter how I tried
 BMaj7Bmaj7                     C#m7C#m7
Phasing the days out; barely existing while the others pass him by

       D#m7D#m7        BMaj7Bmaj7    EMaj7Emaj7       E MajorE
And then he thinks he`s found direction in a lighter shade of blue.
 D#m7D#m7      D#mD#m       E MajorE
There`s no resurrection, just another voice
 E MajorE   N.C.    BB BMaj7Bmaj7 C#m7C#m7 C#m7C#m7
Telling him what to do

BB BMaj7Bmaj7 C#m7C#m7 C#m7C#m7


VERSE:
  BMaj7Bmaj7          C#m7C#m7               BMaj7Bmaj7 BMaj7Bmaj7 C#m7C#m7 C#m7
If comedy`s subjective; it seems nobody out there shared his lessons
  BMaj7Bmaj7
You can`t queue with the big boys
     C#m7C#m7               BMaj7Bmaj7 BMaj7Bmaj7 C#m7C#m7 C#m7
`Cos your image has not yet received their blessing

     D#m7D#m7    D#mD#m      E MajorE          E MajorE
And they take their time while he waits and stands in line
    D#mD#m                     E MajorE
And the back street tales of crime don`t leave us thinking...


PRE-CHORUS:
 E MajorE  N.C.           G#m7G#m7
What if you were one of the others?
G# minorG#m     F#F# F#F#
Just for a while...

CHORUS:
  D#m7D#m7           D#mD#m
No chance in life yet still they`re told to just
 E MajorE          E MajorE
Nod their heads and smile
N.C.          G#m7G#m7   G#m7G#m7
If you lived with what they did;
       F#F# F#F#
Would you be down?
   D#m7D#m7        D#mD#m     E MajorE
It`s hard to know what`s really going on
      E MajorE  N.C.     BMaj7Bmaj7
Behind the face of a smiling clown


INSTRUMENTAL:
BMaj7Bmaj7 BMaj7Bmaj7 C#m7C#m7 C#m7C#m7
BMaj7Bmaj7 BMaj7Bmaj7 C#m7C#m7 C#m7C#m7


VERSE:
BMaj7Bmaj7                       C#m7C#m7 C# minorC#m
Everyone`s an article written by what`s gone on before
  BB        BMaj7Bmaj7        C#m7C#m7
So does it really surprise you when some fall short of the law?
     D#mD#m      BMaj7Bmaj7   E MajorE
And he`s taken all the beatings; unarmed and unmanned
D#mD#m
Two days since he`s eaten.
 E MajorE        E MajorE  N.C.    BB  BMaj7Bmaj7 C# minorC#m
Surely some can give this one a hand?
C# minorC#m         BB BMaj7Bmaj7 C#m7C#m7 C# minorC#m
`Cos he can hardly stand.


VERSE:
      BB
He says, `Won`t somebody help me?
   C# minorC#m                 BB  BB C# minorC#m C# minorC#m
Cos I just can`t play this deadly game of poker`
 BB
`None of these suits fit me,
   C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m   F#F#    BB  BB C# minorC#m C# minorC#m
So I guess it`s up to me to play the joker`

     D#mD#m           E MajorE
When the walls they fall and he`s left to reap it all.
     D#mD#m                  E MajorE
For the things he ain`t been taught, maybe we should have thought.


PRE-CHORUS:
 E MajorE  N.C.          G#m7G#m7
What if you were one of the others?
      F#F# F#F#
Just for a while.


CHORUS:
  D#m7D#m7
No chance in life yet still they`re told to just
 E MajorE
Nod their heads and smile
N.C.          G#m7G#m7   G#m7G#m7
If you lived with what they did;
       F#F# F#F#
Would you be down?
   D#m7D#m7        D#mD#m     E MajorE
It`s hard to know what`s really going on
      E MajorE  N.C.     BB  BB C#m7C#m7
Behind the face of a smiling clown
F#F#            BB BB C#m7C#m7
`Cause life will get you down


OUTRO:

Ooh, ooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh
C# minorC#m     BB      C#m7C#m7 C# minorC#m
