Version 1Album: Say it ain't so Joe (1975) [Intro] D Am Em C G [Verse 1] D Am Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so. Em C G That's not what I wanna hear Joe, ain't I got a right to know? D Am Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so. Em C G I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe; please, tell us it ain't so. [Verse 2] D They told us that our hero has played his trump card; Am He doesn't know how to go on. Em We're clinging to his charm and determined smile, C G But the good ol' days have gone. [Interlude] D Am Em C G [Verse 3] D The image and the Empire may be falling apart; Am The money has gotten scarce, Em One man's word held the country together, C G But the truth is getting fierce.
