Intro 1

D

Verse 1
D D 
 
Well, a good ways down
the railroad track
G G 
 
There was this little old rundown shack
A A 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
And  in it lived a man I'd never seen
D D 
 
Folks said he was a mean and a
vicious man
G G 
 
And you better not set foot on his land
A A 
 
But I didn't think nobody
D D 
 
could be that mean

Verse 2
D D 
 
So I took me out walking down
the railroad track
G G 
 
I was a-gonna go go down
to that little old shack
A A 
 
G G 
 
And just find out if all them things
A A 
 
I'd heard was true
D D 
 
There was a big black dog
laying out in the yard
And it growled at me and I
swallowed hard
A A 
 
And I heard somebody say,
D D 
 
"well, who are you?"
Oh, and there he stood
in the door of that shack
G G 
 
And his beard and his hair
was long and black
A A 
 
And he was the biggest
G G 
 
A A 
 
man I'd ever seen

Verse 3
D D 
 
When he spoke his voice
was low and deep
G G 
 
But he just didn't frighten me
A A 
 
'Cause somehow I just
D D 
 
knew he wasn't mean
He said, "What you doing snooping
'round my place?"
G G 
 
Then I saw a smile come across his face
A A 
 
G G 
 
So I smiled back and I told
A A 
 
him who I was
D D 
 
He said come on in and pull you up a chair
G G 
 
You might as well since you already here
A A 
 
And he said,
D D 
 
"You can call me Joshua"

Verse 4
G G 
 
D D 
 
Joshua, Joshua
A A 
 
D D 
 
Whatcha doing living here all alone?
G G 
 
D D 
 
Joshua, Joshua
A A 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Ain't you got nobody to call your own?
E E 
 
No no, no no

Verse 5
E E 
 
We talked 'til the sun was
clean out of sight
A A 
 
And we still talkin' when it
come daylight
B B 
 
A A 
 
B B 
 
And there was just so much we had to say
E E 
 
I'd spent my life in an orphan's home
A A 
 
And just like him I was all alone
B B 
 
So I  said, "Yeah," when
E E 
 
he asked if I'd stay
Oh, we grew closer as time went on
A A 
 
And that little old shack
it was a happy home
B B 
 
A A 
 
B B 
 
And we just couldn't help but fall in love
E E 
 
That big black dog and that
little old shack
A A 
 
Sitting down by the railroad track
B B 
 
It's plenty good enough
E E 
 
for me and Joshua

Verse 6
A A 
 
E E 
 
Joshua, Joshua
B B 
 
Why you're just what I've
E E 
 
been looking for
A A 
 
E E 
 
Joshua, Joshua
B B 
 
You ain't gonna be
A A 
 
E E 
 
lonesome anymore
No no

Verse 7
E E 
 
Yodel-a-he-ho la-he-he-he-he-he
B B 
 
E E 
 
A A 
 
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa

E E

Verse 8
