Joey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Joey Keys was
from my neighborhood
[A]Some would say that he was bad and
[Bm]Joe thought that was good
[G]Joey got the name "Keys"
picking [D]lock[G]s[D]
[Em]He never really [F#m]robbed no one; it
[G]sure amused the cops
[D]Joey's parents owned a restaurant
After [A]closing time they'd give
us almost [Bm]anything we'd want
I [G]never cared that Joey Keys [D]was slow

[Verse 2]
Though [Em]he couldn't read or write [F#m]too
well but [G]we'd talk all night long.

[Verse 3]
[D]Come on, come on, come on
What you gonna [G]do with your [D]life?
[Em]Come on, come on, come on
Chasing [G]sparks in the nights
His [D]old man said tomorrow
[G]is a ride that goes nowhere
But I'll [Em]pull some strings,
get [F#m]blackbird wings
And [G]break us out of there

[Verse 4]
[A][Chorus:]
Hey Joey
C'mon [Bm]tell me 'bout your dreams
Tell me all the [G]sights you're gonna see
Tell me [Em]who you're gonna be

[Verse 5]
[A]Hey Joey
You're gonna [Bm]kiss the girls
goodnight
Sometimes you got to [Em]stand and fight
It'll [F#m]be alright
[G]We're gonna find a better lif[D]e[Bm]
[A]See

[Verse 6]
[D]Joe was 3 years
younger to the day
Acting [A]like a little brother but
[Bm]became my ball and chain
I [G]met this girl named Rhonda, she
fell for [D]me
She said, [Em]"I might learn [F#m]to like him [G]but love

[Verse 7]
ain't built for three."
[A][Chorus]
Hey [Bm]Joey[G][Em]
[A]You're gonna [Bm]kiss the girls
goodnight
Sometimes you got to [Em]stand and fight
It'll [F#m]be alright

[Verse 8]
[G]Hey Joe[A]y[Bm][G]
[Em]
[A][Bm][Em][D]
[G]
News [C]gets around in this
fading neigh[G]borhood
The [D]old man lost the restaurant
He drinks more [Em]than [G]he should
It's [C]time for Joey keys
to do some [G]good
Pick the [Em]lock off our lives,
let's get [F#m]out of here like we al[G]ways said we would

[Verse 9]
[A][Chorus]
Hey [Bm]Joey[G]
[Em]You're gonna[A] kiss[Bm]
the girls goodnight
Sometimes you got to [Em]stand and fight
It'll [F#m]be alright

[Verse 10]
[G]We're gonna fin[D]d
[G]a bet[Dsus4]ter life[D][G]
