The Wallflowers – I Started A Joke (Ukulele)

E              Bm     F#m
I started a joke,

                           Am              E      Bm      F#m
which started the whole world crying,

   Am        E     Bm     F#m
but I didn't see

           Am              E      Bm
that the joke was on me,

F#m    Am
oh no.

E              G#m       A
I started to cry,

                            B                 E            G#m    A
which started the whole world laughing,

       B           E      G#m     A
oh, if I'd only seen

            B                E
that the joke was on me.

C#m                  G#m                     A                    E
I, I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,

   G#m             C#m                    A                                E      B
and I, I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.

   E          Bm     F#m
Til I finally died,

                          Am             E        Bm      F#m
which started the whole world living,

       Am         E      G#m      A
oh, if I'd only seen

            B                E
that the joke was on me.

C#m               G#m                      A                   E
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,

  G#m              C#m                    A                                E      B
and I, I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said.
