JOKE (Boo Hewerdine)
Written & performed live by Boo Hewerdine, but I don't know of a recording of
it by him. For a recorded version, try Eddi Reader's first album.

beats ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
[C]D'you hear the one about [G]the one you're now without, [C]did it make you[G]
smile?
D'you hear the one about the one you filled with doubt, was it worth your
while?
[Am]The way you kick a life ar[D]ound, [Am]deserving to be undergr[D]ound.
(Chorus) :
[C]What is this? [G]Explain. J[C]oke is this [G]some kind of joke.

One minute in the stars, next minute lying on her face.

[Am]For a tumble and [G/B]something to do at night, [Am]you kick a life a round [D]o- [C]ooh
For a fumble with someone you know at sight . . .

[G] . . . D'you hear the one about the one you're now without?
[Am]She says 'I don't know what to [D]be', and [Am]'does she look younger than [D]me?'
And 'does my make up look alright, can you tell that I've been up all night?'
