Joey And Me by Strawbs
INTRO: G D G C G D G Am
G D G C G D
Joey and me were out on the freeway
G D G C
Leaving the city race
G D G C G D
Out of the hustle, into the country
G D G C
Searching for open space
G D G C G
Shoulder to shoulder, mile for mile
D G C
But neither of us knew where
G D G C G
Sleeping at night out under the stars
D G C
Inhaling the mountain air
CHORUS:
Am
Under the open skies
G
Living in paradise
C D
Joey and me were free
Am
Nobody else allowed
G
Anyone more's a crowd
C D D-D-D-D
Joey and me makes three
G D G C G
Often we talked of wasting our time
D G C
And bridges that we had crossed
G D G C G
But mostly we looked in vain for ourselves
D G C
Forgetting that we were lost
G D G C G
Joey and me were two of a kind
D G C
In love with our own ideals
G D G C G
Aiming to keep the gathering years
D G C
In pace with our rolling wheels
CHORUS:
Am
Under the open skies
G
Living in paradise
C D
Joey and me were free
Am
Nobody else allowed
G
Anyone more's a crowd
C D
Joey and me makes three
BRIDGE:
C D D G
Let me tell you how it all went wrong
F C G
How me and Joey didn't belong
C D G
We were tripping the light fantastic
F C D
Intergalactic, Joey and me
INSTRUMENTAL (same progression as Chorus):
Am G C D Am G C D
G D G C G
The wilderness road had taken its toll
D G C
I knew I could never last
G D G C G
The lines had gone down in a flurry of snow
D G C
The winter was on us fast
G D G C G D
I made my way back into the city
G D G C
Hitched to a guiding star
G D G C G
Joey is out on his own again
D G C
He's richer than me by far

Am
Under the open skies
