Tom: Am
C B7 F G C
Joe’s a paragon of good health and all the rest
C B7 F G C
Twenty-first century Brazil, Valhalla in his head
[Verse]
C B7 F G C
He’s got gods and goddesses in drinking games hanging up on his room
C B7 F G
He told them he was viking, they came out the walls singing
[Chorus]
F Am G
Take it easy Alpha Joe
G
Northern countryside lonely wolf
F Am G
Don't think you’d be better off
F Am G
Folk tunes never did it for you, or your sister, or anyone you know
F Am G
Ain't it time to pack it up?
[Bridge]
Dm E F G
In the twilight of the gods all your buddies laid to rest
Dm E F
Bigger field, greener grass
G
Good enough to start again
[Verse]
C B7 F
Comeback rainbow lullabies
G C
The saga of what you wanted
C B7 F
A carnyx in the night
G Dm
Confiding to the sea
[Bridge]
Dm E F
In times of mystical well being
G C C7
By nature unpredictable
[Chorus]
F Am G
Take it easy Alpha Joe
G
Irish countryside lonely wolf
F Am G
Don't think you’d be better off
F Am G
Folk tunes never did it for you, or your sister, or anyone you know
F Am G
Ain't it time to pack it up?
[Coda]
C B7 Em
You may love it, let it die
G
But never let it go
C B7 Em G
