» Joshua Tree

Intro – F, F/A, F

Verse 1

F, C, Bb, C
He said he knew where he wanted to go
Cos he did too much alcohol and chemicals
He thinks he’s younger than yesterday
But like all of us he’ll get old one of these days

Verse 2

He said he knew what he wanted to do
He said he’s cleared it with you
He doesn’t realise that it’s doing him harm
He thinks it’s too early to raise the alarm

Pre-Chorus
D- Bb
He’s a bit of a dreamer
C
Everyone’s wondering when he’s gonna clean up

Chorus
F A7 D- Bb-/Db
He’s got the angels and the devils watching over him
Bb/C Bb F
Knowing someday he’ll be joining one of them

Post Chorus 1
F,C, Bb, C (only drums)
He likes to get lost under the Joshua Tree
If it’s alright with you then it’s alright with me
He likes to get lost under the Joshua Tree
If it makes you happy it’s alright with me

Verse 3

He wants to hit the mainstream
But instead it gets into his bloodstream
He’s a celluloid rebel
But he hasn’t got that far, no fame or fortune at all

Verse 4

Shoots himself in the foot
Every day he’s in cahoots
Conspiring with himself with his head held high
But his mind has been left behind

Chorus
