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
