Standing In For Joe
D5
I'm standing...
A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
Standing in for Joe
D5
Joe called round to ask me
F#5
Would I do a favor
G5 D5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
While he's gonna be out of town
A5 D5
Said his girl needs company
F#5
She gets so restless
G5 D5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
Would I keep her safe and sound
D5 E5
Softly softly in the night
F#m F (bass notes EDCBAGF)
Well you can guess the rest
A5 D5
Now these shoes fit all too well
G5 D5 A5 A5
Standing in for Joe
G5 D5 A5 A5
Standing in for Joe
G5 ( A5 'sitar twiddle') A5
I'm standing in for Joe
A5 D5
Joe said we've been friends so long
F#5 G5
That I would be the one
D5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
He would trust with his life
A5 D5
Now those words run round my brain
F#5
As darkness falls
G5 D5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
As I turn out his bedroom light
D5 E5
Who could resist her tender charms
F#m F (bass notes EDCBAGF)
So the story goes
A5 D5
This actor he plays all the parts
G5 D5 A5 A5
Standing in for Joe
G5 D5 A5 A5
Standing in for Joe
G5 ( A5 'sitar twiddle')
Oh, I'm standing in for...
F#5 E5
Love is like a river
F#5 F5 ( A5 'sitar twiddle') A5
You cannot stop its flow
A5 D5
Joe called round to ask me
F#5
Would I do a favor
G5 D5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
While he's gonna be out of town
A5 D5
He says his girl needs company
F#5
She gets so restless
G5 D5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5
Would I check that she?s safe and sound
D5 E5
Softly softly in the night
F#5 F5 (bass notes EDCBAGF5 )
Well you can guess the rest
A5 D5
Now these shoes fit all too well
G5 D5 A5 A5
Standing in for Joe
G5 D5 A5 A5
Standing in for Joe
(rinse and repeat)
