[Chorus]
E A E
There ain't no Lonesome Joe like there was before
E A E
There ain't no Lonesome Joe now that Halen's in the door
B7 A B7 A
I thought that you should know, there's won't be no encore
B7
Cause's there's no more Lonesome Joe
E
Cause Joe ain't so Lonesome no more
[Verse 1]
E
I don't even know how he became Lonesome Joe
A E
But I could surmise
E
When I read the names for Common Roots on the bill
A E
And it caught my eye
E
I looked him up to see him singing songs that make me feel
A E
So lonesome I could cry
E
Then I got to know him and despite the Scoliosis
B7 E
He's a real stand up guy
[Chorus]
E A E
There ain't no Lonesome Joe like there was before
E A E
There ain't no Lonesome Joe now that Halen's in the door
B7 A B7 A
I thought that you should know, there's won't be no encore
B7
Cause's there's no more Lonesome Joe
E
Cause Joe ain't so Lonesome no more
[Verse 1]
E
We became friends and started hangin out a bit
A E
And playing in each other's bands
E
It was all for fun hangin at the open mic
A E
Good times did change hands
E
But when you find someone who's got you breakin your own rules
A E
You know what it demands
E
So he wrote a "Song Fer Sara" and his guitar played a love song
B7 E
And he moved to Minneaplolands
[Chorus]
E A E
There ain't no Lonesome Joe like there was before
E A E
There ain't no Lonesome Joe now that Halen's in the door
B7 A B7 A
I thought that you should know, there's won't be no encore
B7
Cause's there's no more Lonesome Joe
E
Cause Joe ain't so Lonesome no more

There ain't no Lonesome Joe like there was before

There ain't no Lonesome Joe now that Halen's in the door

I thought that you should know, there's won't be no encore
B7
Cause's there's no more Lonesome Joe
