Bon Jovi – Joey (Ukulele)

F    
Joey Keys was from my neighborhood

C         
Some would say that he was bad and

Dm
Joe thought that was good

Bb                                F  Bb  F
Joey got the name "Keys" picking locks

     Gm            Am
He never really robbed no one

     Bb
it sure amused the cops

F
Joey's parents owned a restaurant

      C                                  Dm     
After closing time they'd give us almost anything we'd want

  Bb                             F  Bb  F
I never cared that Joey Keys was slow

          Gm               Am
Though he couldn't read or write too well

    Bb                 
but we'd talk all night long

F
Come on, come on, come on

               Bb
What you gonna do with your life?

    Gm
Oh, Come on, come on, come on

        Bb
Chasing sparks in the nights

    F
His old man said tomorrow

     Bb 
is a ride that goes nowhere

         Gm                     Am
But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wings

    Bb
And break us out of there

C
Hey Joey

      Dm  
C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams

                Bb
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see

        Gm
Tell me who you're gonna be

C
Hey Joey

             Dm
You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight

                     Gm           
Sometimes you got to stand and fight

      Am       Bb
It'll be alright         

     F  (E)  Dsus2 (C)
a better life

    F
See Joe was 3 years younger to the day

       C
Acting like a little brother

      Dm
but became my ball and chain

  Bb
I met this girl named Rhonda

             F  Bb F
she fell for me

           Gm               Am
She said, "I might learn to like him

    Bb
but love ain't built for three"

C
Hey Joey

      Dm  
C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams

                Bb
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see

        Gm
Tell me who you're gonna be

C
Hey Joey

             Dm
You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight

                     Gm           
Sometimes you got to stand and fight

      Am       Bb
It'll be alright         

    C   Dm   Bb  Gm
Hey Joe

     Eb                                 Bb
News gets around in this fading neighborhood

    F
The old man lost the restaurant

    F (F5 - G5 - A5 - B5 - C5 - D5)
He drinks more than he should

     Eb                            Bb
It's time for Joey keys to do some good

         Gm                   
Pick the lock off our lives

          Am                   Bb
let's get out of here like we always said we would

C
Hey Joey

      Dm  
C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams

                Bb
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see

        Gm
Tell me who you're gonna be

C
Hey Joey

             Dm
You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight

                     Gm           
Sometimes you got to stand and fight

      Am       Bb
It'll be alright

Find a better life

Come on, come on, come on

               Bb
What you gonna do with your life?

    Gm
Oh, Come on, come on, come on

        C
Chasing sparks in the nights

         F                
Tell the old man it's tomorrow

      Bb
we're off to find somewhere

  Gm
I pulled some strings, got blackbird wings

    C                 F      
And broke us out of here...
