Poor, Poor Joseph Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Next to stay far from home,
the brothers planned a repulsive crime
Let us [A]grab him now,
[D]do what it means
while we've got the [A]time[D][G][Em]
[G]If they did and made the most of [D]it
[G]Saw his coat and flung him in a [D]fit
Let us [A]leave him [D]here all alone
and bound to die
When the stormy Ishmaelites,
the hairy crew,
came riding [Ab]by[D][C#][D][C#]
[D]
In [G]a flash,
the [C]brothers [D]changed their plan
We [G]need Captain Seven,
if [D]we can[Em][D]
Oh, poor [A]Joseph, [Bm]what you gonna [D]do?
[G]Things look bad for [D]you,
hey, [Em]what you [D]gonna do?
Poor, [A]Joseph, [Bm]what you gonna [D]do?
[G]Things look bad for [D]you,
hey, what you [A]gonna [D]do?
Could you use a slave?
You hairy bunch of Ishmaelites
Good, strong, well -behaved
Storing cheese, heavy reeds, and rice
[G]In [Gm]a trice, [G]the dirty [D]deal we've done
Sil[Gm]ver coins[G] for
[C]Jacob's [D]fa vourite son
Van of the Ishmaelites
Galloped off with his slave in tow
Off to Egypt where Joseph
was not keen to go
It [G]wouldn't be a picnic, he [D]could tell
[F]Oh, and [G]I don't speak Egyptian very [D]well[A]
[D]Joseph's brothers tore his
precious multicolored coat
Having ripped it up,
they next attacked a passing ghost
[Gm]Soon the wretched
[Cm]creature was no [D]more
They [G]dipped his coat in [C]blood
[G]and gut[D]s and gore
[Bb]Oh now, brothers,
[Gm]how low can [Bb]you stoop?
You [Eb]make a sword in [Bb]blue pay
[Fsus4]How low can you s[Bb]toop?
Poor, poor Joseph[F],
[Gm]soon to be a [Bb]slave
Situ[Eb]ations create a [Bb]way
[Cm]for someone to b[F]e a [Bb]soul
