Standing In For Joe
Dsus4
I'm standing...
A Asus4 A Asus4 A
Standing in for Joe
D
Joe called round to ask me
F#m
Would I do a favor
G D A Asus4 A Asus4 A
While he's gonna be out of town
A D
Said his girl needs company
F#m
She gets so restless
G D A Asus4 A Asus4 A
Would I keep her safe and sound
D E
Softly softly in the night
F#m F (bass notes EDCBAGF)
Well you can guess the rest
A D
Now these shoes fit all too well
G D A Asus4
Standing in for Joe
G D A Asus4
Standing in for Joe
G (A7sus4 'sitar twiddle') A
I'm standing in for Joe

A D
Joe said we've been friends so long
F#m G
That I would be the one
D A Asus4 A Asus4 A
He would trust with his life
A D
Now those words run round my brain
F#m
As darkness falls
G D A Asus4 A Asus4 A
As I turn out his bedroom light
D E
Who could resist her tender charms
F#m F (bass notes EDCBAGF)
So the story goes
A D
This actor he plays all the parts
G D A Asus4
Standing in for Joe
G D A Asus4
Standing in for Joe
G (A7sus4 'sitar twiddle')
Oh, I'm standing in for...
F#m E
Love is like a river
F#m F (A7sus4 'sitar twiddle') A
You cannot stop its flow
A D
Joe called round to ask me
F#m
Would I do a favor
G D A Asus4 A Asus4 A
While he's gonna be out of town
A D
He says his girl needs company
F#m
She gets so restless
G D A Asus4 A Asus4 A
Would I check that she’s safe and sound
D E
Softly softly in the night
F#m F (bass notes EDCBAGF)
Well you can guess the rest
A D
Now these shoes fit all too well
G D A Asus4
Standing in for Joe
G D A Asus4
Standing in for Joe
(rinse and repeat)
