[Verse 1]

          Am               Dm
You don't know me from the morning
          Am                   Dm
Since the old days you've been boring
            Am                          Dm
I gave them what they need to keep them laughing
            C                          Fmaj7
You gave us skills and fear to make it happen

[Verse 2]
        Am                      Dm
Down at St. Marks you upped the ante
        Am            Dm
But the music come in handy
            Am                        Dm
You told me that the king would never have me
              C                     Fmaj7
You taught me sweet Mary before you slapped me

[Chorus]
    Fmaj7                  Em
But I turned the light on, turned the light on
Dm       G               Am
Took the shame out of my bread
Fmaj7          Em
Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
D                E
Nobody will even know you're dead yeah
Am        Dm    Am      Dm
(I'm the joker, I'm the joker)

[Verse 3]

    Am                  Dm
Mr. Tibbs gotta hold on me
      Am                     Dm
Donut hips they were fine by me
       Am                  Dm
You're only out here for a little while
        C             Fmaj7
So come on, you dying star

[Chorus]
Fmaj7              Em
Turn the light on, turn the light on
Dm      G                Am
Get the shame out of the way
Fmaj7              Em
Turn the light on, turn your light on
D                    E                  Am
Everybody knows it's judgment day right now
Am       Dm     Am      Dm
(I'm the joker, I'm the joker)
Am Dm C Fmaj7

[Verse 4]
             Am             Dm
You took the beauty out the window
            Am                        Dm
I guess you don't care which way the wind blows
            Am                        Dm
You told me that the king would never have me
              C                     Fmaj7
You taught me sweet Mary before you slapped me

[Verse 5]
            Am             Dm
But I'm the joker, and I'm changing
              Am                Dm
And you can't put a pin in my arrangement
      Am                      Dm
Every time you hold me to the fire
          C          Fmaj7
I disappear into the choir

[Outro]
        Am             Dm
I'm the Joker, I'm the Joker
        Am             Dm
I'm the Joker, I'm the Joker
        Am             Dm
I'm the Joker
          Am            Dm
(I'm the joker, I'm the joker)
