Van Morrison - I'm Tired Joey Boy
From the album: Avalon Sunset
[Intro]
C E7 Am Em C F C
C Em7 Am Em C D G
C E7 Am Em C F Fm6
[Verse 1]
C
I'm tired, Joey Boy
F C
While you're out with the sheep
C
My life is so troubled
D G
Now I can't go to sleep
C C
I would walk myself out
F Fm6
But the streets are so dark
C C
I shall wait till the morning
G C
And walk in the park
[Verse 2]
C
This life is so simple
F C
When one is at home and I'm never complaining
D G
When there's work to be done
C F Fm6
Oh I'm tired, Joey Boy, of the makings of men
C G C
I would like to be cheerful again
[Chorus]
F
Ambition will take you
C
And ride you too far, and
D G
Conservatism bring you to boredom once more
[Verse 3]
C
Sit down by the river
F C
And watch the stream flow, recall all the dreams
D G
That you once used to know
C
The things you've forgotten
F Fm6
That took you away
C G C
To pastures not greener, but meaner
[Verse 4]
F C
Love of the simple is all that I need
D G
I've no time for schism or lovers of greed
C F Fm6
Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen
C
Where silence will touch you
G C
And heartbreak will mend
