Intro: A, E (4 times)
(Verse 1)
E
There's a place called Joe's
AE
Where some of us go
ABE
When the hard working day is through
A
Through the neon and smoke
E
We laugh and tell jokes
AB
And throw down a cold one or two
AE
There's a jukebox that's full of records
ABE
By Willie, Haggard and Jones
ABEA
There's a picture of Elvis and ol' John Wayne
ABE
Hanging side by side on the wall
(Chorus)
A
Down at Joe's place
E
It's still the old way
F#m
Pickled eggs in a jar
A
And a blue ribbon sign
F#m
Ol' boys and bankers
B
Sitting side by side
AEAE
Down at Joe's place
AEAE
Down at Joe's place
(Verse 2)
E
Along about midnight
AEA few hangers on
ABE
Are still hanging out at the bar
A
If the telephone rings
E
It's an understood thing
AB
Joe don't know where they are
AE
At a table in the corner
ABE
There's a young man and an empty chair
ABEA
His head in his hands, tears in his eyes
ABE
And a girlfriend's ring lying there
(Chorus)
A
Down at Joe's place
E
It's still the old way
F#m
Pickled eggs in a jar
A
And a blue ribbon sign
F#m
Ol' boys and bankers
B
Sitting side by side
AEAE
Down at Joe's place
AEAE
Down at Joe's place
