     C         C
I'm tired Joey Boy
              F             C
While you're out with the sheep
    C           C
My life is so troubled
       D            G
Now I can't go to sleep
         C           C
I would walk myself out
           F            Fm
But the streets are so dark
         C              C
I shall wait till the morning
     G           C
And walk in the park

      F          F
This life is so simple
     F          C
When one is at home
         C         C
And I'm never complaining
              D          G
When there's work to be done
   C               C          F         Fm6
Oh I'm tired Joey Boy of the makings of men
         C           G        C
I would like to be cheerful again

Ambition will take you
And ride you too far and
Conservatism bring you to boredom once more
Sit down by the river
And watch the stream flow
Recall all the dreams
That you once used to know
The things you've forgotten
That took you away
To pastures not greener but meaner

Love of the simple is all that I need
I've no time for schism or lovers of greed
Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen
When silence will touch you
And heartbreak will mend.
