Chords

As recorded by Jesse Welles (2024 release) [Verse 1]
     C
Hand over the controller man

       F
You're older than Jesus

     Am
In a neolithic scene

       F
On the edges of Egypt

        C
But you don’t diss the dead

        F
And you don’t damn the dying

             Am
I don't make fun of forgetting

        F
I don't taunt folks for trying

        Am
But the mind isn’t able

        Dm
And the body ain’t willing

       D7
On the strings are still tugging

       G              G7
On the puppet they’re killing
[Chorus]
    C
Old man if you’re in there

F
In there Mr. Joe

         Am
Tell the master of puppets

       G7
We all said hello
[Harmonica Solo] C F Am G G7 [Verse 2]
          C
There’s a whole lotta hate

      F
And a whole lot of fighting

           Am
Can’t even go to thanksgiving

        F
Without being divided

       C
I’d be naive to believe

       F
That either side cared

      Am
About me more than power

           F
And not to keep me aware

           Am
I could be under the bombs

          Dm
Livin' in mortal panic

        D7
But I’m USA born

       G     N.C.
It's a lucky accident
[Chorus]
    C
Old man if you’re in there

F
In there Mr. Joe

         Am
Tell the master of puppets

       G7
We all said hello

    C
Old man if you’re in there

         F
And it’s all just your pride

             Am
I guess it’s your choice to make

         G
Cause it sure isn’t mine
[Outro] C F Am F C
