I'M TIRED JOEY BOY (LIVE) As recorded by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (1991 recording from the 1995 Boxset PLAYBACK) [Intro] D G D E7 A7 D G D A D A D G D E7 A7 D G Gm D A D A D G D E7 A7 D G Gm D A D A D G D E7 A7 D G Gm D A D [Verse 1]
D                               G                D
I'm tired Joey Boy while you're out with the sheep

                         E7
My life is so troubled I can't go to sleep

A           D                       G
And I would walk myself out but the streets are so dark

       D                         A           D
I will wait 'til the morning and walk in the park
[Interlude] D G D E7 A7 D G Gm D A [Verse 2]
     D                      G         D
Yeah life is so simple when one isn't home

                                       E          A
And I'm never complaining when there's work to be done

       D                       G
Oh I'm tired Joey Boy with the makings of men

        D          A         D
I would like to be cheerful again
[Bridge]
      G                                     D
And ambition will take you and ride you too far

       E                           A
And conservatism will bring you to boredom once more
[Verse 3]
D                      G                D
So go out by the river watch the stream glow

                            E               A
Recall all those dreams you once used to know

D                              G         Gm
The ones you've forgotten that took you away

   D            A           D
To pastures not greener but meaner
[Interlude] D A D G D E A D G Gm D A D A [Verse 4]
         D                     G          D
Yeah the love of the simple is all that I need

                             E         A
I have no time for schism or lovers of greed

   D                     G         Gm
Go up to the mountain go up to the glen

      D                          A               D
Where silence will touch you and heartbreak will mend
