[Intro]
N.C.    G    G    D7    G    G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                          C             D7
I stepped a-shore in Tokyo feeling kinda blue
    G                        D7              G
For I was trying to forget a love that was untrue
                                  C               D
When by my side I found a lad his dark eyes all aglow
   G                             D                 G
He looked at me so hopefully and said is your name Joe
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                                 G
For Joe's my daddy's name and he will soon come sailing cross the see
   C                                 A7              D7   D7
He said he'd come back by and by and Joe would never lie
    G                            C               D
The warship took my dad away and mommy needs him so
    G                                D7              G
And every night I hear her pray dear God where is my Joe
 
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
                                       C                D7
Somewhere back home a guy named Joe is probably sipping beer
     G                              D            G
Does he know how important he could be if he was here
                              C                   D7
Has he forgot this little lad who needs his daddy so
  G                                  D               G
A promise made a debt unpaid they're waitin' for you Joe
 
 
[Chorus]
    C                                  G
Yes Joe's his daddy's name and he will never sail across that sea
  C                             A7                D      D7
A stranger in a foreign land he let his heart get out of hand
  G                             C                 D
A warship took his dad away and he's too young to know
     G                              D                  G    G
That off across the ocean there's a million guys named Joe
