       C#                           G#

Every night the same old dream I hate to close my eyes
G#m                                             F#                      D#
I can't erase the memory the sound of Julie's cry
G#m
She called me up late that night she said :
F#                          D#
Joe, don't come over
       G#m
My Dad and I just had a fight
         F#                              D#
And he stormed out the door
        B                         G#m
I've never seen him act this way,
         A                         E
My Gosh, he's goin' crazy
C#m                           B
He said he's gonna make you pay
         A                              G#
For what we done, he's got a gun!
C#m               B     G#   C#m
So run, Joey run, Joey run

C#m                                 B
Daddy please don't it wasn't his fault
       D                           A
He means so much to me
F#m                                           E
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married
D#                         G#m
Just you wait and see

Am
Got in my car and I drove like mad
      G                            E
Til I reached Julie's place
Am                                                                   G                      E
She ran to me, with tear-filled eyes and bruises on her face
Am                                                 G                  E
All at once I saw him there sneaking up behind me (watch-out!)
             Am
Then Julie yelled, "He's got a gun!"
                    G                            E
And she stepped in front of me
  C                  Am                         Bb                 F
Suddenly, a shot rang out and I saw Julie falling
   Dm                C
I ran to her, I held her close
            Bb                               A
When I looked down, my hands were red
          Dm                    C        A       Dm
And here's the last words Julie said

 Dm                                  C
Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault
        D#                          Bb
He means so much to me
 Gm                                          F
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married

Am              G       E
Run, Joey run,  Joey 
Am              G       E
Run, Joey run, Joey
Am              G       E   Am
Run, Joey run, Joey run.....!
