Living on the road my friend, [G] is gonna keep you free and clean
[F] Now you wear your skin like iron, [C] your breath as hard as
[G] kerosene
[F] Weren't you more [C] but a favorite one [F] it seemed?
[Am] She began [F] to cry when you [Am] said [G] goodbye, [C] and sank into [Am] a dream
On
[G] [C] Joe's abandoned [A] [G] boat, his horse was fast as polished steel
[F] He wore his gun outside his van, [C] for all the [G] honest world to fear
[F] On Joe's [A] [C] deserted [F] island, [Dm] [Am] nobody [F] heard his [G] dying word
[F] All the times he waited [Am] for you, [A]
[F] all the times that he [C] could have [F] had any day
[Am] Oh, [F] let it [G] slip away, [F] all the kindness [Am] I've shown
[B] [C] Let the game sing the [G] blues all night long like he [D] used to
[F] The dust that gone Joe, he bounced [Dm] out, [C] he lit it up and [G] left his [C] mark
[F] Baby, wait for Joe, [Dm] [C] let it [F] slip away
[G] [Am] Where he got the [G] bread and the coke, [F] there ain't [A] nobody there
[F] [C] All the [F] times he [C] waited for you, all the [F] times that he could have had any day

[G] [C] Still, I find the [A] veil [G] that left his loving and cheap affair
[F] It wears you quiet and cleave in his [C] coat, and so the story [G] ends with Joe
[F] Oh, Joe, leave your prayers as [C] true, save a few [F] if I've left you [D] too
[Am] The only thing we [G] had,
[F] and I was [Am] gonna know
[B] All [Am]
[F] [C] the [F] better I'd say, [C] [D] could have [F] had any day
[Am] Oh, let [F] it slip [G]
away, [F]
all the kindness [Am] I've shown
[F] You grabbed my shirt, [C] could have had [F] any day
