D Bm
He lived in Cincinnati, was born in '29
Em F#m
His life was uneventful, not a bit like yours or mine
Em Asus A
His mother raised him proper and his dad kept him in line
D A/C# Bm D/A G G/A D
He lived in Cincinnati, he was born in '29
(Turnaround: D Dsus+2 D, A Aus+2 A)
D Bm
He went upstate to college, he got no honors there
Em F#m
He had a lot to offer but no one seemed to care
Em Asus A
He'd visit home on weekends and his folks would see him then
D A/C# Bm D/A G G/A D
They never asked him what he'd done or where he might have been
(Turnaround: D Dsus+2 D, A Aus+2 A)
D Bm
He met a girl along the way, he thought it was romance
Em F#m
He started to come out a bit, she'd given him a chance
Em Asus A
For a week he couldn't find her then he finally got the news
D A/C# Bm D/A G G/A D
She'd married an old boyfriend and she'd moved to Syracuse
(Turnaround: D Dsus+2 D, A Aus+2 A)
D Bm
He holds the hurt in nicely so you'd never ever tell
Em F#m
Outside he looks like heaven but inside he feels like hell
Em Asus A
He's cryin' out for something that he'll never ever know
F#m Bm7 Em7 Em7/A A
And everyone ignores him 'cause he's just a plain ....ol'
D D/C# D/B D/A G G/F# G/E G/D A Asus A
Joe Ohhhhhhh....oooh-oooh
D D/C# Bm D/A G D/F# Em A7
And ooh, plain ol' Joe, and oo..oh,.. plain ol' Joe
D D/C# Bm D/A G D/F# Em A7 D D7
And ooh, plain ol' Joe, and oo...oh, ..plain ol' Joe
G D/F# Em G/D
Everyone around him seemed so self-assured
C Bm Am Am7/G D Dsus
Everybody seemed to have it made
G D/F# Em G/D
Everybody acted like you never lived
C Bm Am Am7/G D Dsus
You're just a guy who never made the grade
G D/F# Em G/D
You're just a guy who never had a real friend
C Bm Am Am7/G D Dsus
You never seemed to ever really ...bloom
G D/F# Em G/D
But you finally made the papers just the other day
C C/B Am Am/G Am Am/G A7
When they found your body in your lonely little room
D Bm
He lived in Cincinnati, was born in '29
Em F#m
His life was uneventful, not a bit like yours or mine
Em Asus A
His mother raised him proper and his dad kept him in line
D A/C# Bm D/A G G/A D
He lived in Cincin..nati and he died in '69
