G5                         C5           G5 
Well it sure didn't take too long 
G5                   C5                           G5 
I woke up this morning she was gone 
             E5                C5 
And the note that she wrote 
         G5              C5             G5            D5               G5 
Didn't say Dear John  just goodbye sucker I'm gone 
G5                                   C5              G5                                
She was a homegrown mountain girl 
G5                C5          G5  
Raised in a different world 
            E5           C5 
I was a wanna be rocker 
               G5             C5 
She was more into Merle 
G5                    D5                 G5 
Couldn't see it just wouldn't work 
                     E5              C5                  G5                    C5 
And now I'm double fisting long necks  grapefruit and Stoli 
G5                   D5      G5 
Never getting over Joely  
 
Well I poured myself in my car 

I drove it on down to the bar 

But they wouldn't let me in  

Cause I ain't a movie star 

So I went to the Horse Shoe on Lamar 

The bouncer threw me out there too 

And I didn't know what to do 

So I picked up the phone 

And I called big Sue 

But the call block wouldn't let me through 

And now I'm wishing for some drugs or a shrink to console me 

But I'm never getting over Joely 
 
Well I gathered up all my guns 

And a pipe bomb just for fun 

And I drove to her house and parked on the lawn 

That's right I always was a crazy one. 

Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me 

Said calm down would you like a drink 

And then I shot him full of holes 

From his nose to his knees 

then I polished off my little sweet pea 

And I'm crying on me knees feeling dirty and unholy 

But I'm never getting over Joely 

Now I'll probably get life and serve at least forty  

But I'm never getting over Joely
