Van Morrison - I'm Tired Joey Boy: chords

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

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

Chorus:
   C
Ambition will take you
     F            C
And ride you too far, and
                           D            G
Conservatism bring you to boredom once more

Sit down by the river
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
