Hey Joe I know you’re workin on your college fund
                                  A      E
Saving up to chase women in the college sun
                                         A    E

But you’re scared of the dark I don’t care where you’re from
                                            A             E

                                          A           E
And I know you love the women with their skin in the sun
                                            A            E
But you’re scared of the dark I don’t care where you’re from

Hey Joe, I got one more question

How does it feel, to spit that love into a microphone?
