[E] _ [F#] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ Joe was always funny, [D] even as a lad
While the other kids [A] played marbles, [B] Joe [E] played mom and dad
[A] He'd carry some girls' books from [D] school or other foolish things
So every [A] time we'd see Joe, [E] this song he'd [A] hear us sing
_ What's the matter, Joe?
[D] She's got you in a whirl
Joe has [A] got a [E] sweetheart, Joe has [A] got a girl _ _ _ _ _

[B] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ [A] _ _ _ When high school days were [D] over, Joe took himself a wife
We knew that [A] Joe was crazy, [B] but now he'd [E] erect his smile
[A] As the gang stood on the corner [D] and gave the girls the eye
Joe pushed his [A] baby [E] buggy and listened to [A] our cry
_ What's the matter, Joe?
[D] Ain't you got no life?
Joe is [A] sure as [E] henpecked, Joe has [A] got a wife
_ As _

_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ time goes by, I wonder [D] if Joe's really wrong
For every [A] time the gang [B] meets, there's less [E] to sing the song
[A] For most of them are married, [D] I've watched them one by one
Get haunted [A] by the altar [E] and never [A] even run
_ _ What's the matter, Joe?
[D] Guess I'd better get a date
I'm getting [A] mighty [B] lonesome and it's getting [E] pretty late
The [A] gang's all at your house [D] while the ladies have their tea
So I guess I'd [A] better hurry, [E] hey, Joe, wait [A] for me _ _ _ _ _
