Biografía:
Josh Joplin Group was a Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
E
I sound like Michael Stipe
Dbm Abm
And I dream like Carl Jung
A
And I look just like a showgirl
E B
Who sleeps with her makeup on
[Verse 2]
A E
And I'm ready for the footlights
A B
To play the part I'm cast
E B
I may not be a star
A
But I'm happy at last
[Verse 3]
E
I dance like Billy Budd
Dbm Abm
And I pray like Dinah Shore
A
I disappear like Garbo
E B
But I come back wanting more
[Verse 4]
A E
And I don't know where I'm going
A B
I'm running out of cash
E B
I may not be well off
A
But I'm happy at last
E B
You know, I may not be well off
A Dbm
But I'm happy at last
[Bridge]
B A Dbm
I'm not as smart as the Sunday Times crossword puzzle
B A Dbm
Big words get me into trouble
B A Dbm
I never see when the light shines down, I burn too fast
B A
I may be pale, but I'm happy at last
E
I'm happy at last
[Instrumental]
E B E B E B E B
[Verse 5]
E
I have a friend back home
Dbm Abm
Who likes to sleep all day
A
He packs his pipe, reflects on life
E B
And dreams his debt away
[Verse 6]
A E
He still lives with his parents
A B
Just like he always has
E B
He may not always know it
A
But he's happy at last
E B
You know he may not always know it
A
He's happy at last
E D B
Happy at last
A E D B
Happy at last
E A D B
Happy at last
A E D B A E
Happy at last
