Open: D - C/D - Am - C - G - A
 
D
Old John Joseph was a man with two first names
 
Em A G Em A7sus4 - A7
They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains
 
D
And only one run a week comes on roarin' down that line
 
Em A G D
So all he's got to worry about is time
 
Em A7 Bm F#m
He sits in the breakhouse, his hands out to the fire
 
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
Movin' through his memories of love and desire
 
Em A7 Bm F#m
Tellin' me the stories of the glories of his past
 
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7sus4 - A7
But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last
 
D Em
And he says, my Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
 
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
 
D Em7
And like I told you, when she holds you
 
A D
She enfolds you in her world
 
D - C/D - Am - C - G - A
 
D
I'd come by in the evening to find out where he'd been
 
Em A G Em A7sus4 - A7
He'd say come on sit down kid, where shall I begin?
 
D
And I'd say you know my favorite, though you know I like the rest
 
Em A G Em D
But I love the way you tell me of your Corey the best
 
Em A7 Bm F#m
And so I'd hear his life long love recreated by his tongue
 
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
He'd turn back the years, she'd seem forever young
 
Em A7 Bm F#m
Though the other stories changed as they rolled through his head
 
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
He'd say the same words about Corey just before he went to bed
 
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
And then he'd send me away but he'd be smiling as he said
 
D Em
Can't you see, my Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
 
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
 
D Em7
And like I told you, when she holds you
 
A D
She enfolds you in her world
 
D - C/D - Am - C - G - A
 
D
I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew
 
Em A G Em Asus4 - A7
So I asked the townfolk if his stories were true
 
D
They said Old John was born here, he's lived here all his life
 
Em A G Em D
He never had a woman, let alone a wife
 
Em A7 Bm F#m
And very soon you'll find out, as you check around
 
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7
That no one named Corey's ever lived in this town
 
Em A7 Bm F#m
So I chided the old man about the truth that I had heard
 
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7sus4 - A7
He smiled and said reality is only just a word
 
D Em
Can't you see, my Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
 
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
 
D Em7
And like I told you, when she holds you
 
A Dm
She enfolds you in her world
 
Dm/E Dm/C DmaddG
I came by one evening but he did not hear my shout
 
Gm A#6/F Em7b5 A7addG
I looked in the window and I saw the fire was out
 
Dm Dm/E Dm/C DmaddG
When he would not wake up I forced in the door
 
Gm A#6/F Em7b5 A7addG
And I found that old John Joseph would tell stories........ no more
 
Dm Dm/E Dm/C DmaddG
The scene at the graveyard just three of us were there
 
Gm A#6/F Em7b5 A7addG
Me and the grave digger we heard the parson's prayer
 
NO CHORD
He said we need not grieve for this man
 
D
For we know that God cares
 
D
They put the cold dirt over him and left me on my own
 
Em A G Em A7sus4 - A7
When at last I looked up I saw I was not alone
 
D
Standing there in silence, with a shawl around her head
 
Em G G Em D
Was a beautiful young woman, I remember what she said
 
Em A Em - A
Is that John Joseph there?
 
A D
I nodded my head yes
 
A A7sus4 - A7 - A7sus2 - A7
That brought a soft smile from her
 
G A7 D
She said it's time he got some rest
 
D
So I said if you're a relative he had a peaceful end
 
Em A7sus4 - A7 - A7sus2 - A7
That's when she said my name is Corey
 
G A7 D
You could say I'm just a friend
 
D Em
Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
 
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
 
D Em7
And like I told you, when she holds you
 
A D
She enfolds you in her world
 
D - C/D - Am - C - G - A
 
D
So that's the old man's story, I'm glad you came tonight
 
Em A7 G Em A7sus4 - A7
You see a busted down old railroad yard sure makes a lonely site
 
D
You may wonder why a young man would work out here alone
 
Em A G Em D
The job pays enough to keep some flesh on my bones
 
Em A7 Bm F#m
And I confess I get to missing the old man a bit
 
Em Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A7sus4 - A7 - A7sus2 - A7
Yes there's one other reason I guess I could admit
 
D Em
Corey's coming, no more sad stories coming
 
A G Em A7sus4 - A7
My midnight, moonlight, morning glory's coming aren't you girl?
 
D Em7
And like he told me, when she holds you
 
A D
She enfolds me in her world
 
D - C/D - Am - D
