Intro:

D  Am, Em  C  G

Verse 1:

D
 Say it ain't so Joe, please,
Am
 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
 Say it ain't so Joe, please,
Am
 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 2:

     D
They told us that our hero,
Has played his trump card;
   Am
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.

Interlude:

D  Am, Em  C  G

Verse 3:

    D
The image and the Empire,
May be falling apart,
                     Am
The money has gotten scarce,
Em
 One man's word,
Held the country together,
        C                G
But the truth is getting fierce.

D
 Say it ain't so Joe, please,
Am
 Say it ain't so,
Em
 We pinned our hopes on you Joe,
            C           G
And they're ruining our show.

Yes, we're gonna get turned.
