[G][Asus4][A]
[D]Back in Canaan the future
looked rough
Jacob's family were [Em]finding it tough

[Verse 2]
For the [Em]famine has caught
us unprepared
We are thin, we are ill
We are getting scared
It's [A]enough to make
anyone weep
We are down to our [D]very
last sheep

[Verse 3]
We will starve if [D]we hang around here
But in Egypt there's food
going spare

[Verse 4]
They've got corn They've [Em]got
meat
They've got fruit and drinks
And if we have the time

[Verse 5]
We could see the Sphinx!
[Em]So they finally decided to
go (here we go)
[A]Off to Egypt to see brother [G]Jo!
[D]So they all lay before (doo- doo- ah)
Joseph's feet (feet, feet, feet)

[Verse 6]
[D]
Mighty prince,
give us (doo- doo- ah)
Something to eat (eat, eat, eat)

[Verse 7]
[G]Joseph found it a strain
(doo- doo- bah)
Not to laugh [Gm]because
(ha- ha- ha- ha, ha!)
Not a brother among them
(oh, brother)
Knew [G]who he was[A][G]
[A](who he was)

[Verse 8]
I shall [D]now take them all for a ride
After all they have tried fratricide

[Verse 9]
I dreamed that [D]in the fields one day
The corn gave me sign
Your [Em]eleven sheaves of corn

[Verse 10]
All turned and bowed to mine
[Em]I dreamed I saw eleven stars
The sun, the moon and sky
Bowing down before my star
And now I realise [A]why

[Verse 11]
How do I know where you came from? [D]You
could be spies
Telling me that you are [A]hungry
That could be lies

[Verse 12]
How do I know who you are? Why do you think [D]I
should
help you?
Would you help me? (Yes!)
Why on earth should I believe you?

[Verse 13]
I've no guarantee!
[D]Grovel, grovel
Cringe, bow, stoop, fall
Worship, worship
Beg, kneel, [G]sponge, crawl
Grovel, grovel (grovel, grovel)
Cringe, bow, stoop, fall (grovel,
grovel)
Worship, worship
[E](grovel, grovel)
Beg, kneel, sponge,
crawl (grovel, grovel)

[Verse 14]
We are just eleven brothers [A]Good
men and true
Though we know we count for nothing

[Verse 15]
When up next to you
[D]Honesty's our middle name
Life is slowly ebbing from us
Hope's almost [G]gone
It's getting [A]very hard to see us
From sideways on

[Verse 16]
Grovel, [D]grovel (grovel, grovel)
Cringe, bow, stoop, fall (grovel,
[A]grovel)
Worship, worship (grovel, grovel)
Beg, kneel, [D]sponge,
crawl (grovel, grovel)

[Verse 17]
I rather like the way you're talking Astute and sincere
[A]
Suddenly your tragic story
It gets me right here
This is what we hoped he'd say

[Verse 18]
All [D]this tugging at my heartstrings
Seems quite justified
I shall give you what you came for
And lots [G]more beside

[Verse 19]
Grovel, grovel (thank you, thank you)
[E]
Grovel, grovel (cringe, bow, stoop,
fall)
Grovel,
grovel (worship, worship)
Grovel, grovel [A](beg, kneel,
sponge, crawl)
[D]Thank you, thank you (grovel, grovel)
Cringe, bow, stoop, [G]fall (grovel,
grovel)
[A]Worship, worship (grovel, grovel)
Beg, kneel, sponge (grovel)
[D]Crawl...[Bb]

[Verse 20]
Joseph [Eb]handed them sack- loads of [Bb]food
And they grovelled with base gratit[Eb]ude

[Verse 21]
Then, [Eb]unseen,
Joseph nipped (yum, yum, yum)
Out [Ab]around the back
(yum, yum, yum, yum)
And [F]planted a cup in (yum,
yum, yum, yum)
Young [Bb]Benjamin's sack
(yum, yum, yum)

[Verse 22]
When the [Eb]brothers were ready to [Ab]go
Joseph [Bb]turned to them [Ab]all
With a [F#]terrible [Bb]stare and said
[Eb]No!
[Ab]No!
No! No! No!
[Eb][Ab][Eb]
