Oh Joe

Dm C Am F C Dm C Am Running through the forest on the mossy, dirty ground F C Am Hearing all the choruses of animal sounds F They sold me C They sold me Am To the natives and the gypsies F They told me C They told me Am That I would not be found Dm C Am Doing all the duties for a man I hardly know F C Am Man, his wife's a beauty with a natural glow F Her flirting C Her flirting Am She held my coat so tightly F She cursed me C She cursed me Am When I told her no F C Oh Joe Dm Am Watch it all unfold F C Oh Joe Dm Am You're not alone Dm C Am Locked up in a prison for some wayward woman's lies F C Am When I met a couple of King Pharaoh's guys F They told me C They told me Am The dreams they had so worried F C I said one would live Am But the other one would die F Am G I was forgotten in my chains F Am G But there was something greater running through my veins Dm C Am Master of the nation had some troubling dreams F C Am Nobody could tell him what the two of them would mean F They called me C They called me Am I said it was not in me F But only C Am F C Dm Am The Holy One would know F C Dm Am F C Oh Joe Dm Am Pulled from jail below F C Tell the King my words Dm Am Joe, be bold F Am G For seven years, we will be blessed F Am But seven years will lead to hunger G Spreading east to west F Am And if you want to save the kingdom G Find a man to lead it F With wisdom And the King said F C Oh Joe Dm Am I may be on the throne F C But you are in command Dm Am Lead our land F For you are that man
