INTRO: A D A D A D
WELL, IT'S A LONG, HOT NIGHT
A
AND THE STARS ARE SHINING KINDA EXTRA BRIGHT
SITTIN' ON THE BACK PORCH GLIDIN'
D A
WHETTING MY APPETITE
D
WELL I'M A SIX PACK HIGH
A
AND START MISSING THE LIGHT OF MY BABY'S EYES
WASN'T IT BEAUTIFUL, THE KIND OF SOUL THEY
D D/A D/F#
SAID WOULD NEVER DIE
G
WELL IT'S MUGGY IN THE SHACK
AND THE BACKWOODS ARE BLACK
D
'CAUSE THE CLOUDS HID THE MOON AWAY
A
THE LIGHT FROM MY CIGARETTE FLICKERS IN THE DARK
D D/A D/F#
THE ONLY WAY SHE KNOWS I'M HERE
G
THEN SUDDENLY THE SOUNDS OF THE FIDDLES AND ACCORDIONS
D A
SWEETLY BEGIN TO PLAY AND I CAN ALMOST HEAR
D
HER SWEET VOICE SAY
CHORUS:
Bm A G A
COME ON JOE, COUNT TO TEN,
D A D A
PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER AGAIN
A
AND COME ON JOE, YOU GOTTA GET HOLD
D
OF THIS MOOD THAT YOU'RE IN
Bm A G A
COME ON JOE, YOU GOTTA BE STRONG
D A D A
YOU'RE STILL YOUNG AND LIFE GOES ON, TO CARRY ON
D
'TIL WE'RE TOGETHER AGAIN
HEY I KNOW SHE'S RIGHT, BUT IT'S HARD TO FIGHT
WHEN YOU'RE HURTIN' SO
I TRIED TO WALK OUT THE DOOR BEFORE
BUT I JUST CAN'T GO
WITH THE TEARS AND THE LAUGHTER
IN EVERY RAFTER, IN EVERY ROOM
WASN'T IT BEAUTIFUL, WASN'T IT THE KIND OF HAPPINESS AND GLOW
REPEAT CHORUS
