[E]
I can't [F#] undo the day [C#] that won't go [G#] Won't [C] go under the rug
[E]
I [F#m] pull out the stops [F#] [C#]
until [C] you pull the plug
[E]
These are [F] soberer days [F] [C] and I know it can't be
But [E]
I'll miss you [C] the way [F] [C] you miss the sea
[D] Ooh, Joe of Dove, [C] Joe of Dove
Keeps scurrying like you've never [D] seen the stars
Joe of [C] Dove
If you need breathes to remind [D] you who you [C] are
Little blossom, there's the [D] shiniest star
[E] Just behind those [Em] arms
[E] No longer [F#] my [C#m] affair
Well, I can't go there [C]
just yet
So [E] I've come [F#m] to love and trust
[F#] [C#m] Those friends [G#] that [C] are holding your net
[E] Falling off, used [F] to me, [F] [C] maybe grazing a knee
[E] And I'll miss you [Fm] the way [C] you miss the sea
Ooh, [D] Joe [C] of Dove, Joe of Dove
Keeps scurrying like you've never [D] seen the [Am] stars
Joe of Dove
[C] If you need breathes to remind [D] you who you [C] are
Joe of Dove
Little blossom, there's the [D] shiniest star
[E] Just behind those arms
[F#m] [C#] [C]
[E] [F#m]
[F#] [C]
[E] While I won't [F] second guess what [C] you're thinking of me
I [E] will miss you [F] the way [C] you miss the sea
[G] Ooh, [D] Joe of [Am] Dove, Joe of Dove
Keeps scurrying like you've never [D] seen the stars
Joe [C] of Dove
If you need breathes to [Am] remind [D] you who you [Am] are
[C] Joe of Dove
Little blossom, there's the [D] shiniest star
[E] Just behind those [Em] arms
