[Intro 1]
[E][G][E][G][D][E][G][D][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
Georgie Porgie used [A]to get
real high
He used to [Bm]kiss the world
till it [G]made him cry
He was under the bottle's [D]command
But one winter [A]he got
it together and
[Bm]Happiness came [G]with the warmer
weather laying across all the land
[D]

[Verse 2]
He had a love she [A]also liked to drink
[Bm]She got it together
But you [G]know what I think?
I think she was still feeling glum
[D]

[Verse 3]
She took a gun and [A]she shot
him in the head
[Bm]She shot herself a[G]nd so they were wed
as the air conditioner hummed
[D]

[Verse 4]
Sing for [A]joy
[Bm]Sing for [G]laughs
Sing for [D]joy
Sing for [A]joy
If [Bm]nothing [G]else
Sing for joy
[D]

[Verse 5]
Mamma killed a pumpkin
She [Am]thought [A]it was a sweet
She [Bm]put it on [G]the table
But it was still meat
She forgot the sugar again
[D]

[Verse 6]
[D]Daddy came home,
she [A]had tears in her eyes
He said [Bm]"Gimme grilled cheese
And paper [G]bag French fries"
See, he forgot the sugar again
[D]

[Verse 7]
We had a wander seven [A]years out West
It [Bm]wasn't exactly [G]the wilderness
But I felt like an Israelite
[D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Mamma is a gypsy,
she'll [A]never find her town
[Bm]Daddy went to sea but
[G]the boat went down
And the flames shot into the night
[D]

[Verse 9]
Sing for [A]joy
[Bm]Sing for [G]laughs
Sing [D]for joy
Sing for [A]joy
If [Bm]nothing [G]else
Sing for joy
[D]

[Verse 10]
[D]I know a girl w[A]ho lives on the hill
[Bm]I don't know if her [G]sister will
Or I was thinking about her best [D]friend

[Verse 11]
Oh [D]listen to me
I'm a des[A]perate boy
[Bm]I think I better have a [G]sing for joy
And I guess this has just got to end
[D]

[Verse 12]
[A]I'll get[D] away in my get[A] away car
Every [Bm]now and then I'll
[G]send my regards
From a payphone down
in the flat[D]s

[Verse 13]
[D]I'm sorry for the love
[A]I'm sorry for the pain
[Bm]I'll say I'm sorry baby
[G]again and again
I'm sorry we're joining the stat[D]s

[Verse 14]
[D]Sing for [A]joy
[Bm]Sing [G]for laughs
Sing for [D]joy
Sing for [A]joy
If [Bm]nothing [G]else
Sing for [D]joy
