Al Stewart – Joe The Georgian (Guitar Live)

Am              E                      Am      E      Am    E
Now I've got my payment        For the service that I gave

        Am          E                   Am       G        C
They've given me my ticket     To this place beyond the grave

     Dm                 G           Am         G       F   E
I suppose it's kind of funny   I suppose it's kind of sad

Am               E                Am   Dm  Am  E
Thinking back on all the times we had

Am                       E               Am    E     Am   E
But it's kind of hot and smoky   In this anteroom to hell

      Am              E                     Am        G        C
And I won't make up a story     'Cause you know the truth so well

     Dm               G                  Am    G     F      E
It's much too late to worry      That we never had a chance

    Am                    E                   Am     G      Dm
And when Joe the Georgian gets here  We will dance, dance, dance

     Am                E                  Am     Dm   Am  E
When Joe the Georgian gets here  We will dance

Am                E                      Am     E       Am   E
We all set off together         On this sorry ship of state

         Am                E            Am        G       C
When the captain took the fever We were hijacked by the mate

       Dm                       G      Am     G      F   E
And he steered us through the shadows Upon an angry tide

   Am               E            Am   Dm  Am E
And cast us one by one over the side

Am                       E               Am    E     Am   E
But it's kind of hot and smoky   In this anteroom to hell

      Am              E                     Am        G        C
And I won't make up a story     'Cause you know the truth so well

     Dm               G                  Am    G     F      E
It's much too late to worry      That we never had a chance

    Am                    E                   Am     G      Dm
And when Joe the Georgian gets here  We will dance, dance, dance

     Am                E                  Am     Dm   Am  E
When Joe the Georgian gets here  We will dance

Am                 E                Am     E      Am   E
There's Kamenev, Zinoviev,       Bukharin and the rest

      Am              E                    C       G       C
We're sharpening our pitchforks  And we're heating up the ends

     Dm               G                  Am        G     F   E
We've got a few surprises        For the mate when he appears

  Am                 E                Am   Dm  Am E
I hope he likes the next few million years

Am                       E               Am    E     Am   E
But it's kind of hot and smoky   In this anteroom to hell

      Am              E                     Am        G        C
And I won't make up a story     'Cause you know the truth so well

     Dm               G                  Am    G     F      E
It's much too late to worry      That we never had a chance

    Am                    E                   Am     G      Dm
And when Joe the Georgian gets here  We will dance, dance, dance

     Am                E                  Am     Dm   Am
When Joe the Georgian gets here  We will dance
