Joe's Garage Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][A]
[D][G][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]It wasn't very large
There was [G]just enough room
to [A]cram the drums
In the [D]corner over by the dodge
It was a [G]fifty-four
With a [A]mashed up door
And a [D]cheesy little amp
With a [G]sign on the front said [A]"fender champ"
And a [D]second-hand guitar
It was a [G]stratocaster with a [A]whammy bar

[Verse 2]
We could [D]jam in joe's garage
His [G]mama was screamin'
His [A]dad was mad
We was [D]playin' the same old song
In the [G]afternoon 'n [A]sometimes we would
[D]Play it all night long
It was [G]all we knew, 'n [A]easy too
So we [D]wouldn't get it wrong
[G]Even if you played it on a [A]saxophone

[Solo 1]
[D][G][A][A]

[Verse 3]
We [D]thought we was pretty good
We [G]talked about keepin' the [A]band together
'n we [D]figured that we should
'cause a[G]bout this time we was [A]gettin' the eye
From the [D]girls in the neighborhood
They'd [G]all come over 'n [A]dance around like...

[Verse 4]
So we [D]picked out a stupid name
Had some [G]cards printed up for a [A]coupla bucks
'n we was [D]on our way to fame
Got [G]matching suits 'n [A]beattle boots
'n a [D]sign on the back of the car
'n we was [G]ready to work in a [A]go-go bar
One, two, three, four
Let's see if you've got some more!
[D][G][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]People seemed to like our [A]song
They [G]got up 'n danced 'n made [A]a lotta noise
An' it [D]wasn't 'fore very [A]long
A [G]guy from a company we [A]can't name
Said we [D]oughta take his [A]pen
'n [G]sign on the line for a [A]real good time
But he [D]didn't tell us [A]when
These [G]"good times" would be [A]somethin'
That was [D]really [A]happenin'
So the [G]band broke up
An' it [A]looks like we will [D]never play again...

[Outro 1]
Guess you only get one chance in life
To play a song that goes like...
