The Joke

      F       Dm
The young, the old
     Gm
The dead
     C      F
And you and I presently
     Gm     C
Traveling west
            Gm
Chasing the sun
  C                Gm
See where once it was
Dm  Bb       F
It will be again
     F       Dm
And I have lived
      Gm
A charmed life
       C      F
The hand of fate rests
          Gm
On my shoulder
   C             Gm
Still I get the joke
    C             Gm
Try to make you laugh
 Dm  Bb     F
It speaks for itself

[Verse]
        F       Dm      Gm
The child I’ll never have
        C     F   Gm
The stranger on the sidewalk
 Am  C           Gm
All who’ve ever lived
         C     Gm
Now are waking up
Dm     Bb     F
To wish us luck
