[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Well, a [D]good ways down
the railroad track
There [G]was this little old rundown shack
[A]And in it lived a man I[G]'d never s[A]een
Folks [D]said he was a mean and a
vicious man
And you bet[G]ter not set foot on his land
But [A]I didn't think nobody
could be that [D]mean

[Verse 2]
So I took [D]me out walking down
the railroad track
I was a-gonna [G]go go down
to that little old shack
And just [A]find out if all [G]them things
I'd heard was [A]true
There was a [D]big black dog
laying out in the yard
And it growled at me and I
swallowed hard
And I [A]heard somebody say,
"well, who are [D]you?"
Oh, and there he stood
in the door of that shack
And his [G]beard and his hair
was long and black
And he [A]was the biggest
[G]man I'd ever [A]seen

[Verse 3]
When [D]he spoke his voice
was low and deep
[G]But he just didn't frighten me
'Cause [A]somehow I just
knew he wasn't [D]mean
He said, "What you doing snooping
'round my place?"
Then [G]I saw a smile come across his face
So [A]I smiled back [G]and I told
him who [A]I was
He said [D]come on in and pull you up a chair
You [G]might as well since you already here
And [A]he said,
"You can call me [D]Joshua"

[Verse 4]
[G]Joshua, [D]Joshua
[A]Whatcha doing living here [D]all alone?
[G]Joshua, [D]Joshua
Ain't you [A]got nobody to [G]call your [D]own?
No [E]no, no no

[Verse 5]
[E]
We talked 'til the sun was
clean out of sight
And we [A]still talkin' when it
come daylight
[B]And there was just so much [A]we had [B]to say
I'd [E]spent my life in an orphan's home
And [A]just like him I was all alone
So [B]I said, "Yeah," when
he asked if I'd [E]stay
Oh, we grew closer as time went on
And that [A]little old shack
it was a happy home
And [B]we just couldn't help [A]but fall [B]in love
That big [E]black dog and that
little old shack
[A]Sitting down by the railroad track
It's [B]plenty good enough
for me and [E]Joshua

[Verse 6]
[A]Joshua, [E]Joshua
Why [B]you're just what I've
been [E]looking for
[A]Joshua, [E]Joshua
You ain't [B]gonna be
lonesome [A]any[E] more
No no
