O Be Joyful

G A G A G

      A
O' Be Joyful, is that what you're brewing
G                    A
Does your daddy know that's what you're doing

His little girl's got her reputation out to ruin
        G                       E     (G)
She was giving them the country wave

A
Machete in a tree stump, hound dog on a chain
G                               A
Wooden legged woman playing the banjo in the rain

She can't recall the tune but the song is always the same
 G              E
"Jesus, give me strength"

D            E            A             F#m
Babe, it's alright, gonna wrap you up tonight
    D             E    (G) A    G  A  G
And carry you out right on time

A
She got Comanche, she got Iroquois
G                            A
She got a young man that she plays with like a toy

And he don't mind when she calls him little boy
         G               E
That's a thing that he enjoy

   (G)      A
He wants to get it all back but it's a little too late
             G                      A
He wants to start all over, wants a shiny clean slate

But she'll skin him like a snake and hang him up over the gate
      G                         E
Don't believe it, well just you wait

D            E            A             F#m
Babe, it's alright, gonna wrap you up tonight
    D             E    (G) A
And carry you out right on time

G       A             G          A          G
Hey alright, ain't it good to be alive
A                   D                       E    (G)
Ain't it nice to be fighting on the winning side
