Say It Ain't So Joe
[Intro]
D Am Em C G
[Verse 1]
D Am
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so.
Em C G
That's not what I wanna hear Joe, ain't I got a right to know?
D Am
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so.
Em C G
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe; please, tell us it ain't so.
[Verse 2]
D
They told us that our hero has played his trump card;
Am
He doesn't know how to go on.
Em
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile,
C G
But the good ol' days have gone.
[Interlude]
D Am Em C G
[Verse 3]
D
The image and the Empire may be falling apart;
Am
The money has gotten scarce,
Em
One man's word held the country together,
C G
But the truth is getting fierce.
D Am
Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so.
Em C G
We pinned our hopes on you Joe and they're ruining our show.
