The Joker by Jamie Webster
The Joker
Tuning:E A D G B E
CAPO: NONE
INTRO:
Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
VERSE:
Bmaj7 C#m7
Can't seem to fit the mould no matter how I tried
Bmaj7 C#m7
Phasing the days out; barely existing while the others pass him by
D#m7 Bmaj7 Emaj7 E
And then he thinks he's found direction in a lighter shade of blue.
D#m7 D#m E
There's no resurrection, just another voice
E N.C. B Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
Telling him what to do
B Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
VERSE:
Bmaj7 C#m7 Bmaj7 Bmaj7
If comedy's subjective; it seems nobody out there shared his lessons
C#m7 C#m7
Bmaj7
You can't queue with the big boys
C#m7 Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
'Cos your image has not yet received their blessing
D#m7 D#m E E
And they take their time while he waits and stands in line
D#m E
And the back street tales of crime don't leave us thinking...
PRE-CHORUS:
E N.C. G#m7
What if you were one of the others?
G#m F# F#
Just for a while...
CHORUS:
D#m7 D#m
No chance in life yet still they're told to just
E E
Nod their heads and smile
N.C. G#m7 G#m7
If you lived with what they did;
F# F#
Would you be down?
D#m7 D#m E
It's hard to know what's really going on
E N.C. Bmaj7
Behind the face of a smiling clown
INSTRUMENTAL:
Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
Bmaj7 Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m7
VERSE:
Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m
Everyone's an article written by what's gone on before
B Bmaj7 C#m7
So does it really surprise you when some fall short of the law?
D#m Bmaj7 E
And he's taken all the beatings; unarmed and unmanned
D#m
Two days since he's eaten.
E E N.C. B Bmaj7 C#m
Surely some can give this one a hand?
C#m B Bmaj7 C#m7 C#m
'Cos he can hardly stand.
VERSE:
B
He says, "Won't somebody help me?
C#m B B C#m C#m
Cos I just can't play this deadly game of poker"
B
"None of these suits fit me,
C#m F#m F# B B C#m C#m
So I guess it's up to me to play the joker"
D#m E
When the walls they fall and he's left to reap it all.
D#m E
For the things he ain't been taught, maybe we should have thought.
PRE-CHORUS:
E N.C. G#m7
What if you were one of the others?
F# F#
Just for a while.
CHORUS:
D#m7
No chance in life yet still they're told to just
E
Nod their heads and smile
N.C. G#m7 G#m7
If you lived with what they did;
F# F#
Would you be down?
D#m7 D#m E
It's hard to know what's really going on
E N.C. B B C#m7
Behind the face of a smiling clown
F# B B C#m7
'Cause life will get you down
OUTRO:
C#m B C#m7 C#m
Ooh, ooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh
C#m B C#m7 C#m
Ooh, ooh, oooooh, ooh, ooh
C#m D#m D#m7
Ooh, ooh, oooooooooh,
E
Wooh, ooh, wooh ooh, ooh
D#m7 E E
Wooooooooh ooooooooh
D#m7 E E
Wooooooooh ooooooooh
D#m7 E
Woooh, woah
