Half Man Half Biscuit – Ode To Joyce (Guitar)

A           (nc)  A               D                     Bm
              Hey Joyce, rock and roll never gave you a voice

           E                        A
It's never given you so much as a lament

     F                       Bb
So I went to the store and I bought a guitar

     E                     A         A7
To bestow this accolade on you, just you

    D                          E
Not Sally, Carrie Ann or Peggy Sue

          A                  F          E7          A
I'm gonna spend my next half day with a girl called Joyce;

      F                  E7                     A           D A E A
Gonna possibly stop at Tebay with a girl called joyce.

    A                    D                        Bm
Hey Joyce, I know you're not as far out as Ronnie Boyce

         E                          A
And I'm aware that you've got a few quirks

       F                         Bb
But it hurts when I hear all the songs to Maria

         E                        A    A7
Well, we haven't really done with J or K

D             E
Much to my dismay

         A                F         E7          A
When the bad gets worse I turn to a girl called Joyce;

      F                  E7                      A         D A E A (x2)
Gonna lose myself in the thrall of a girl called Joyce.

       A                  D                          Bm
Slower ball........ Paris Fashion Week caught me off guard

      E                        A
I was busy with trellising the yard

     F                    Bb
In a springless cart on a sunless day

       E                 A          A7
As the laudanum shortage dawns, two fauns

D                   E
Lead me through the glade

          A                  F         E7          A
Where the gods have dumped Diana for a girl called Joyce;

       F                   E7                   A
And displayed on high is a banner in support of Joyce.

        F                  E
And the brook runs crystal clear

        A                  E
And the brook runs crystal clear

        F                  E
And the brook runs crystal clear

(nc)               A          A   E A7
And the wind cries Joyce.
