Verse 1
C
As old Joe sat a dyin'
C7
The baby down the hall was cryin'
F7 E7sus4 E7 A7sus4 A7
Somebody had a party goin' on
Fmaj7 Em
The fat boy you told tales to
Fmaj7 Fm7 /Bb
Moved away the other day
C Dm7 Em F#dim Dm7 G7
To think with no goodbye he could have gone
C
A postcard from Sun City
C7
Was found laying by your side
F7 E7sus 4 E7 A7sus4 A7
Some kind of desert place where old folks dry away
Fmaj7 Em7
You gazed out through the window
Fmaj7 Fm7 /Bb
At the wonders of the sky
C Dm7 Em F#dim Dm7 G7
As if it were the first time every day
Chorus
Cmaj7 D
There ain't no-one left alive
Cmaj D
To call me Joe, you used to say
F G7 Cmaj Dm7 G7
No-one left alive to call me Joe
Verse 2
C
You've been beyond the boundaries
C7
Understood it all and thought of nothing
F7 E7sus4 E7 A7sus4 A7
The ultimate was simple to your eyes
Fmaj7 Em7
Just watch the world make madness
Fmaj7 Fm7 /Bb
As the youth cried their replies
C Dm7 Em F#dim Dm7 G7
An old man knows far better than to try
C
They say towards the end
C7
You hardly left your shabby room
F7 E7sus4 E7 A7sus4 A7
Where once you loved to go awalkin' through the day
Fmaj7 Em7
Sit back and watch a spider
Fmaj7 Fm7 /Bb
Weave your window 'cross the moon
C Dm7 Em F#dim Dm7 G7
And Meals On Wheels laughed kindly when you'd say:
Chorus
Cmaj7 D
There ain't no-one left alive
Cmaj7 D
To call me Joe, you used to say
F G7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7
No-one left alive to call me Joe
Cmaj Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
Call me Joe, call me Joe
