[Intro]
N.C.
This is the story of two word Joe, About the saddest old story one person could know
N.C.
About how his love went fast so his head got slow
And this is how old Joe's story goes
Eb
[Verse 1]
Eb
Two word Joe was a regular guy
Ab
From a regular town of a regular size
Bb Ab Eb
At the age of 21 he made a real fine bride out of Sally Roselina
Eb
Joe was a preacher and intelligent guy
Ab
He made a dollar a day but he never asked why
Bb Ab Bb B
'Cause he found great pride in openin' eyes to the power of a womans love
[Verse 2]
E
Well Sally was flattered at first I guess
A
But as time went on she was less impressed
B7
And she caught her blue eyes on a brand new dress
A B7
So she found a new daddy in town
E
Two word Joe was an awful wreck
A
And we didn't see much of him when Sally left
B
But in three weeks flat he was back in check
A F
With a bitty named Mary Susan
[Verse 3]
F
Low Joe couldn't take that kind of hurtin' again
Bb
So he took up the law and he learned to defend
C7
He started living big like the established man
Bb F
So he could spoil young Mary Sue
[Verse 4]
F
Mary Sue got tired of the glitter and gold
Bb
She wanted something real before she grew too old
C
She ran of with a beggar in Buffalo
Bb F F#
To go work for the sick and the needy
[Verse 5]
F#
Low Joe broke down and his mind went clean
B
And all the cryin' must have blown his smart part of his brain
C#
'Cause two times a loss cause two times the pain
B F# G
Now he only gets two words in one time
[Verse 6]
G
And you can see it in his eyes when he speaks to you
C
That there is so many words he's tryin' to push on through
D
He says one word another one and then that's it
C A7 D7
And it sounds a little something like this:
[Outro]
G C D7
No love, Big pain,Sadness remains
Am7 C D Asus4
Many years, So blue, So alone,
G C D
No friends, Closed door, This life, What for,
Am C D Asus4
No days,No tears,No more,
G C D Dsus4 G
No days,No tears,No more
