Everybody knows t[E]hat I'm just a Joe t[G#7]hat likes to hang ar[C#m7]ound,[Amaj7]
[G#m7]talking a[G#7]bout my [C#m7]problems, bringing other [F#7]people [F#m7/B]down.
Well this [E]may be so, but [G#7]not long ago,
I was [C#m7]sitting on the top of the [Amaj7]world.
Sure is [G#m7]strange how [G#7]things can [C#m7]turn thems[Bm7]elves a[A]round.[F#m7/B][E]
When I'm in [E]need of a little bit of [G#7]consultation, used to [C#m7]call on my Uncle [Amaj7]John.
Took a [G#m7]trip down to [G#7]West Vir[C#m7]ginia, found him [F#7]dead and [F#m7/B]gone.
And as [E]some sort of silly little [G#7]consolation,
they [C#m7]gave me a ticket [Amaj7]back.
[G#m7]What you gonna [G#7]do with [C#m7]folks like t[Bm7]hat?[A][F#m7/B][E]
You can [D/E]talk about bands of an[E]gels,

to [C#m7]set their ch[Bm7]ildren [F#m7]free.[F#m7/B]
But you [E]talk about little bit of [G#7]understanding,
things that [C#m7]happen day to day.[Amaj7]
[G#m7]Some of you [G#7]folks sure [C#m7]'nuf have been [Bm7]good to [A]me.[F#m7/B][E]
You [D/E]come on talking about [E]angel bands,
and they [Amaj7]think you [G#m7]come with your [C#m7]soul in your [G#m7]hands
just to [C#m7]set their [Bm7]children [F#m7]free.[F#m7/B]
But you [E]talk about little bit of [G#7]understanding,
things that [C#m7]happen day to day.[Amaj7]
