I'm tired, Joey Boy - Van Morrison From the album: Avalon Sunset Intro: C E7 Am Em C F… C… C Em7 Am Em C D… G… C E7 Am Em C F… Fm6… C C I'm tired Joey Boy F C While you're out with the sheep C C My life is so troubled D G Now I can't go to sleep C C I would walk myself out F Fm But the streets are so dark C C I shall wait till the morning G C And walk in the park F F This life is so simple F C When one is at home C C And I'm never complaining D G When there's work to be done C C F Fm6 Oh I'm tired Joey Boy of the makings of men C G C I would like to be cheerful again Ambition will take you And ride you too far and Conservatism bring you to boredom once more Sit down by the river And watch the stream flow Recall all the dreams That you once used to know The things you've forgotten That took you away To pastures not greener but meaner Love of the simple is all that I need I've no time for schism or lovers of greed Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen When silence will touch you And heartbreak will mend.
