Van Morrison - Im Tired Joey Boy
 
From the album: Avalon Sunset
 
 
 
[Intro]
  C  E7  Am  Em  C  F  C
 
  C  Em7 Am  Em  C  D  G
 
  C  E7  Am  Em  C  F  Fm6
 
[Verse 1]
      C
I'm tired, Joey Boy
                F             C
While you're out with the sheep
                C
My life is so troubled
        D           G
Now I can't go to sleep
          C           C
I would walk myself out
          F              Fm6
But the streets are so dark
          C             C
I shall wait till the morning
      G           C
And walk in the park
 
[Verse 2]
       C
This life is so simple
       F         C
When one is at home and I'm never complaining
               D          G
When there's work to be done
     C                           F          Fm6
Oh I'm tired, Joey Boy, of the makings of men
          C          G         C
I would like to be cheerful again
 
[Chorus]
    C
Ambition will take you
      F            C
And ride you too far, and
                            D            G
Conservatism bring you to boredom once more
 
[Verse 3]
      C
Sit down by the river
      F                C
And watch the stream flow, recall all the dreams
           D            G
That you once used to know
      C
The things you've forgotten,
       F         Fm6
That took you away,
     C            G            C
To pastures not greener, but meaner
 
[Verse 4]
                        F          C
Love of the simple is all that I need,
                             D         G
I've no time for schism or lovers of greed.
     C                      F         Fm6
Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen,
        C
Where silence will touch you,
      G               C
And heartbreak will mend.
