Joey And Me       by     Strawbs 
 
 
INTRO: G D G C   G D G Am
 
G        D  G    C          G   D
Joey and me were out on the freeway
G           D G   C
Leaving the city race
G          D  G    C        G   D
Out of the hustle, into the country
G             D G  C
Searching for open space
G           D    G    C        G
Shoulder to shoulder, mile for mile
               D  G    C
But neither of us knew where
G           D     G   C         G
Sleeping at night out under the stars
             D   G    C
Inhaling the mountain air
 
 
CHORUS:
Am             
Under the open skies
G
Living in paradise
C                D
Joey and me were free
Am
Nobody else allowed
G
Anyone more's a crowd
C                 D      D-D-D-D
Joey and me makes three
 
 
G        D      G  C           G
Often we talked of wasting our time
                 D  G   C
And bridges that we had crossed
    G         D      G  C           G  
But mostly we looked in vain for ourselves
                D  G    C
Forgetting that we were lost
G        D  G    C        G
Joey and me were two of a kind
                 D   G C
In love with our own ideals
G         D    G   C         G
Aiming to keep the gathering years
                 D  G    C
In pace with our rolling wheels
 
 
CHORUS:
Am             
Under the open skies
G
Living in paradise
C                D
Joey and me were free
Am
Nobody else allowed
G
Anyone more's a crowd
C                 D
Joey and me makes three
 
 
BRIDGE:
C        D               D        G
  Let me tell you how it all went wrong
      F           C        G
  How me and Joey didn't belong
          C            D        G
  We were tripping the light fantastic
         F       C        D
  Intergalactic, Joey and me
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL (same progression as Chorus): 
           Am G C D   Am G C D
 
 
    G          D    G   C         G
The wilderness road had taken its toll
               D G   C
I knew I could never last
    G              D    G    C         G
The lines had gone down in a flurry of snow
               D  G  C
The winter was on us fast
  G           D    G C      G D
I made my way back into the city
G            D   G   C
Hitched to a guiding star
G       D      G   C    G
Joey is out on his own again
                 D  G  C
He's richer than me by far
