Hey Joe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Walking through the garden
on a summer[C]'s eve
I saw a little [D]blackbird up in
the lo[C]cust [D]tree
I sat [G]up there beside him
and he [C]raised his head
He looked up [D]at me, and this [C]is what he said
[D]He said, "Tell

[Verse 2]
[G]me, Mr. Martin,
why [C]is the night so long?
Why am I [D]so scared?
Am I do[C]ing something wrong?"
[D]I said, "List[G]en,
little buddy," and I [C]leaned down low
"Sit close [D]to me,
and I'll tell [C]you what I know
[D]Hey Joe[C],

[Verse 3]
you know no
[D]one knows noth[G]ing
Hey [C]Joe, we're all [D]lost just like [G]you
Hey [C]Joe, don't know where
[D]the world's turning
[Em]So hey Joe, [D]don't follow m[C]e,
[D]I'm follow[G]ing you"

[Verse 4]
And all the little [G]crickets sang
their [C]little songs
And all the buzzing [D]bees,
they all buzzed [C]along[D]
So we [G]listened to the music
in the gentle [C]breeze
Sure is nice [D]here, Joe,
in this lovely [C]locust tree
[D]But hey Joe[C], you

[Verse 5]
know my [D]heart gets so [G]lonely
Hey [C]Joe, and the [D]world's so hard [G]for me
Hey [C]Joe, you know,
some[D]times I [Em]wonder
If this [G]whole [C]world's [D]only make- believe
[G]

[Verse 6]
[C](Hey Joe) Sometimes I feel [D]like a baby [G]turtle
[C](Hey Joe) On that tre[D]acherous bea[G]ch
[C](Hey Joe) I'm so clo[D]se
to the [Em]ocean
But hey, [G]Joe,
that [C]ocean[D]'s just out of my [G]reach

[Verse 7]
[C](Hey Joe) So sit close to [D]me, bud[G]dy
[C](Hey Joe) And I'll sit clo[D]se to thee,
[G]yes[C]sirree
(Hey Joe) Glad I [D]ran into you, [Em]Joe
Up [G]here in this [C]lovely lo[D]cust [G]tree

[Verse 8]
Hey [C]Joe[D][G]
Hey [C]Joe[D][G]
