[C] [G] Old John Joseph was a man with two first names
[Am] They left him [D] in the railroad [Am] yard when they took away the trains
_ [G] And only one run a week comes on roaring down that line
[Am] So all they got [D] to worry [C] about is [G] time
[Am] I come by [D] in the evening
[Em] To hear about [Bm] where he's been.
[Am] He says come on sit down kid.
[Bb] Where shall I [D] begin?
[Am] He starts telling [D] me the stories [Em] of the glories [Bm] of his past
[Am] But he always saves the story [Bb] of his story [D] for the _ last
And [G] he says my core is coming
_ No more [Am] sad stories coming [D] but midnight moonlight morning glory [C] is coming [D] on your girl
_ [G] And like I told you when [Am] she holds you
_ [D] She unfolds [Gb] you [G] in her _ world

_ _ _ _ _ [G] I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew [C] and so I [D] asked the [C] townsfolk if his
[D] stories were true _
[G] Well, they said old John was born here.
He's lived here all his life.
[C] He's never [D] had a [C] woman
let [G] alone a wife [Am] and
Very [D] soon you'll find [Em] out as you [Bm] check around
That [F] no one named [Dm] Corey's ever lived in [D] this town
So [C] I [D] chatted the old [Em] man about the truth that [Bm] I had heard really [Am] smiling said reality
[Bb] It's only [D] just the _ word
[G] Can't you see my core is coming? _
No [Am] more sad stories coming [D] but midnight moonlight morning [C] glory is [D] coming on your girl
[G] And like I told you [Am] when she holds you [D] she unfolds you [G] in her _ [Gm] world
I _ _ came [C] by one evening, [Eb] but he did not [F] hear my shout.
[Eb] I looked in the [Bb] window [C] and I saw the [D] fire was out
[G] When he [C] would not wake [Eb] up I've lost [Am] in the door [Cm] and I saw that [Bb] old John Joseph [Am] would tell [G] [D] stories
[Gm] No more
The scene at [F] the graveyard [Em] just three of [D] us were there
[C] Me and my [Bb] grave digger.
[A] We [C] heard the [D] possum spray
He said we need _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
They _ _ _ put _ _ _ _ _ _ the cold heard over him left me on my own
[Am] And when at last I looked up I saw I was not alone
So [G] I said if you're a relative he had a peaceful end
That's when [Am] she said my name is Corey _
You _ [C] can say I'm [G] just a friend
_ _ _ _ _ _ Chorus come here
_ No more [Am] sad stories coming
_ [Am] But midnight moonlight [D] morning [Am] glory [C] is [Am] coming on your girl
_ And _
_ [G] _ like I told you _
[Am] When she holds _ _ you
She [Bm] _ [Am] _ unfolds [D] you
_ [Am]
In [G] her [Em] world
[F] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] So that's the old man's story.
I'm glad you came tonight
[Am] You see it busted [D] down.
Oh railroad.
[Am] Y'all sure makes [D] a lonely sight
[G] You may wonder why a young man
Got here alone.
[Am] Well the job [D] pays enough to [C] eat some flesh [G] on my balls [Am] and
