                   D                               Am 
                   Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so 
                   Em 
                   I'm sure they telling us lies Joe, 
                         C                  G

                   They told us our hero has played his trump card 
                   Bm 
                   He doesn't know how to go on. 
                   F#m 
                   We're clinging to his charm and determined smile, 
                   D                       A 
                   But the good old days have gone. 
                    

                   E 
                   The image and the empire may be failing apart 
                   Bm 
                   The money has gotten scarce 
                   F#m 
                   One man's world held to country together, 
                   D                      A 
                   But the truth is getting fierce 
                    

                   D                               Am 
                   Say it ain't so, Joe please, say it ain't so 
                   Em 
                   We pinned our hope on you Joe 
                           C                  G
