Verse 1
(A major) Skid (E minor) Row (G major) Joe (D major)
Last night that's who I found
in the (G major) dirty part of town
(A major) Lost forgotten with no place to (D major) go
Tormented (A major) with a (D major) bitter taste out
cast (G major) by the human race
A mask (A major) of torture was the
face of Skid Row (D major) Joe
Verse 2
(D major)
(A major) He walked (D major) up to where I stood on the street
(G major) Said, "Pardon me Mister now don't get me wrong,
I don't want (D major) your money
Though Heaven knows I could use it (A major)
But you see this is my home and you
see the other (D major) bar down the street
Well, that's my home too (G major)
I noticed you starin' at me a while ago,
you recognized me didn't (D major) you?"
I said, "Yeah Joe, I (A major) know who you are
You (D major) was one time a real famous singing
star one of my favorites"
He said, "Well I guess you heard they
took my ba (G major) bies away from me"
I said, "Yeah Joe, I,
I read about it in the papers" (D major)

Verse 3
Then he turned his (D major) head away and
I saw the tears fall (A major) in the place
And he turned to me and he said,
(D major) "You know Mister
This is the only place in the world that
I'm not (G major) ashamed to show my face
But I'm gonna quit, yes sir,
(D major) I'm gonna quit
And I'm gonna (A major) shave and comb my hair,
an (D major) d get me a clean white shirt
Then I'm gonna walk up to her door
When she answers I'm gonna
stand (G major) up real proud and tall
Then I'm gonna get on my knees (D major)
And I'll say, 'sweetheart,
if you'll take me back (A major)
I'll spend the rest of my life makin' up
to you for what I've done (D major)
I'm so ashamed of myself
and this I want (G major) you to know'
Then I'm gonna take my two little babies
(D major) and I'm gonna hold 'em so close to me
(A major) I ain't gonna never let 'em go" (D major)
I guess I should've told him then that
she'd already remarried again (G major)
But after hearin' what
he'd said to me
Why there wasn't no way I
could add (D major) to his misery
So I said good luck,
(A major) my best to you, Skid Row Joe
(D major)
