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