Song: Joe Black (2nd fret capo)
Everybody needs a song
G
Too help them get along
A
Through the maze
D 7th of all that's wrong
D
In the haze
E
Of unclear days. A G
My name is Joe Black!
Chorus:
I hope I get back
from this country called Iraq.
Where I carry my tack I hope I stay on track
Please don't stab me in the back.
My name is Joe! The time is going slow I hope I can last
I'm tired of the bombs
All day long they blast
In this place of doom
Oh, everybody needs a rock
And the ticking of the clock
All we see are tears
All day we're in shock
Overcoming all the fear
why is death so near?
Everybody needs a friend is it so close to the end?
I see my comrade's fall and the voices that call
I can't wait to get back
From this place in Iraq.
Everybody needs the light Nothing's black and white.
I don't want to loose my sight
in this crazy fight
Let me get back
From this place in Iraq
As the rockets blaze at night I know we're doing right
Cause Saddam quit without a fight
He said, "He's
willing to negotiate
The rules that could change his
fate and
postpone his final death date.
As the rockets blaze at night
We tell ourselves all is right
Yet we know when we’re home
Memories of those days will roam
As night mares in our mind
Hoping peace is what we’ll find.
