Story Of Joseph chords by
The Triffids
The Triffids

N/A
Verse 1
D

Underneath an errant sun I

stubbed my toes into your town

I had in mind a manger just to

put my coughing child to rest

And all who know me draw their blinds

and shudder up their smarting eyes

This gift for you, it's killing me

Strapped to my leg like

Harper

Fett

So do not turn away and do not

shake your sorry hand

This idiot at my side

is just another mouth to feed

With his gnashing and his screams,

well he's the last thing that I need

Now he is a burdensome indeed,

he kicks and bites and blows the earth

They're just an ugly legacy,

yeah, he's nowhere else to be used to me

And he moves and grooves and leaps and skips,

as you can plainly see

And all my pockets full of sand,

and all my shoes so full of hoes

I travel light or deep, light,

for just one bed, for just one night

I got no ready funds at hand,

I got no finance for to pay,

But if I don't see shelter soon,

I may not see it another day.

Well, son, I'd like to help you out, but
G
D

I got my very own cross to bear,
G
D

And everybody's got a hard luck story,

and they all want to bend your ear.

So either pay or use the door,

I've got a business here to run.
G
D

And if you think this deal is war,

Well, sir, you're not the only one.

Sir, you're not the only one.

Sir, you're not the only one.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
