Tom: C
C
[Verse]
C
Old Joe is a man who just wanders around
C
He says he moves much better when he's on his own
G
And he walks the lonely roads from town to town
F Em Dm G C
And he pushes his home around in a broken cart
F Em Dm G C
And he wears his ragged clothes and he plays the part
[Chorus]
F C/E Dm7 G C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
F Dm7 G C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway
[Verse]
C
Old Joe is the man who'll fix the door
C
When the hinges break and it catches the floor
G
Then he'll spend the night in the barn on a bed of straw
F Em Dm G C
In the morning he'll be gone when you try to find him
F Em Dm G C
Some flowers by the door is all he leaves behind him
[Chorus]
F C/E Dm7 G C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
F Dm7 G C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway
[Verse]
C
When it's winter time and the wind blows cold
C
And the sheep are settled in the fold
G
People wonder where the old man goes
F Em Dm G C
'Cause he disappears for two or three months or more
F Em Dm G C
Well, he'll be back on the road in spring, just like before
[Chorus]
F C/E Dm7 G C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
F Dm7 G C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway
[Verse]
C
When I was a boy he was an old man then
C
And the old folks knew him when they were young
G
And now I'm grown, he's still around
F Em Dm G C
I wonder if he's one of many that look the same
F Em Dm G C
Or maybe he's just a small part of the game
[Chorus]
F C/E Dm7 G C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
F Dm7 G C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway
[Instrumental]
C G
F Em Dm G C
F Em Dm G C
[Chorus]
F C/E Dm7 G C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
F Dm7 G C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway
F Dm7 G C
No, he's not too keen on talking anyway
