Van Morrison – Im Tired Joey Boy (Guitar)

    C
I'm tired, Joey Boy

              F             C
While you're out with the sheep

              C
My life is so troubled

      D           G
Now I can't go to sleep

        C           C
I would walk myself out

        F              Fm6
But the streets are so dark

        C             C
I shall wait till the morning

    G           C
And walk in the park

     C
This life is so simple

     F         C
When one is at home and I'm never complaining

             D          G
When there's work to be done

   C                           F          Fm6
Oh I'm tired, Joey Boy, of the makings of men

        C          G         C
I would like to be cheerful again

  F
Ambition will take you

                 C
And ride you too far, and

                          D            G
Conservatism bring you to boredom once more

    C
Sit down by the river

    F                C
And watch the stream flow, recall all the dreams

         D            G
That you once used to know

    C
The things you've forgotten

     F         Fm6
That took you away

   C            G            C
To pastures not greener, but meaner

                      F          C
Love of the simple is all that I need

                           D         G
I've no time for schism or lovers of greed

   C                      F         Fm6
Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen

      C
Where silence will touch you

    G               C
And heartbreak will mend
