SAY IT AINT SO, JOE... by Murray Head

Capo on 3rd Fret sounds good to me.
Intro:

D  Am7 (Slide up 2 frets and back down again Em11[no 5th] Apparently?)  Em  C  G  (x2)
Chorus:

D                             Am7           Em11[no5th]  Am7
 Say it ain't so Joe, please, say it ain't so
Em          
 That's not what I wanna hear Joe
        C              G
Ain't I got a right to know
D                             Am7           Em11[no5th]  Am7
 Say it ain't so Joe, please, say it ain't so
Em   
 I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe
       C                G
Please tell us it ain't so

Verse 1:
   
     D                        
They told us that our hero has played his trump card
   Am7                 Em11[no5th]  Am7
He doesn't know how to go on
      Em  
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile 
        C                  G
But the good ol' days have gone
Chorus:

Verse 2:
    D
The image and the empire may be falling apart
   Am7                 Em11[no5th]  Am7
The money has gotten scarce
Em
 One man's word held the country together
        C                G
But the truth is getting fierce

Chorus:
D                             Am7           Em11[no5th]  Am7
 Say it ain't so Joe, please, say it ain't so
Em 
 We pinned our hopes on you Joe
            C           G
And they're ruining our show

Em          
 That's not what I wanna hear Joe
        C              G
Ain't I got a right to know
D                             Am          Em11[no5th]  Am7
 Say it ain't so Joe, please, say it ain't so

Please tell us it ain't so
