(Verse 1)
E
There's a place called Joe's
A E
Where some of us go
A B E
When the hard working day is through
A
Through the neon and smoke
E
We laugh and tell jokes
A B
And throw down a cold one or two
A E
There's a jukebox that's full of records
A B E
By Willie, Haggard and Jones
A B E A
There's a picture of Elvis and ol' John Wayne
A B E
Hanging side by side on the wall
(Chorus)
A
Down at Joe's place
E
It's still the old way
F#m
Pickled eggs in a jar
A
And a blue ribbon sign
F#m
Ol' boys and bankers
B
Sitting side by side
A E A E
Down at Joe's place
A E A E
Down at Joe's place
(Verse 2)
E
Along about midnight
A E
A few hangers on
A B E
Are still hanging out at the bar
A
If the telephone rings
E
It's an understood thing
A B
Joe don't know where they are
A E
At a table in the corner
A B E
There's a young man and an empty chair
A B E A
His head in his hands, tears in his eyes
A B E
And a girlfriend's ring lying there
(Chorus)
A
Down at Joe's place
E
It's still the old way
F#m
Pickled eggs in a jar
A
And a blue ribbon sign
F#m
Ol' boys and bankers
B
Sitting side by side
A E A E
Down at Joe's place
A E A E
Down at Joe's place
