[Verse]
C
Old Joe is a man who just wanders around
C
He says he moves much better when he's on his own
                                           G
And he walks the lonely roads from town to town
       F          Em    Dm         G      C
And he pushes his home around in a broken cart
       F         Em     Dm             G         C
And he wears his ragged clothes and he plays the part

[Chorus]
       F      C/E      Dm7               G       C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
            F               Dm7     G  C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway

[Verse]
C
Old Joe is the man who'll fix the door
C
When the hinges break and it catches the floor
                                                   G
Then he'll spend the night in the barn on a bed of straw
       F       Em       Dm            G      C
In the morning he'll be gone when you try to find him
     F       Em     Dm             G        C
Some flowers by the door is all he leaves behind him

[Chorus]
       F      C/E      Dm7               G       C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
            F               Dm7     G  C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway

[Verse]
C
When it's winter time and the wind blows cold
C
And the sheep are settled in the fold
                                G
People wonder where the old man goes
          F    Em        Dm           G         C
'Cause he disappears for two or three months or more
               F           Em      Dm           G      C
Well, he'll be back on the road in spring, just like before

[Chorus]
       F      C/E      Dm7               G       C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
            F               Dm7     G  C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway

[Verse]
C
When I was a boy he was an old man then
C
And the old folks knew him when they were young
                               G
And now I'm grown, he's still around
  F            Em       Dm        G        C
I wonder if he's one of many that look the same
   F          Em     Dm         G      C
Or maybe he's just a small part of the game

[Chorus]
       F      C/E      Dm7               G       C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
            F               Dm7     G  C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway

[Instrumental]
C           G
F  Em  Dm  G  C
F  Em  Dm  G  C

[Chorus]
       F      C/E      Dm7               G       C
And if nobody wants to talk to him, well that's okay
            F               Dm7     G  C
'Cause he's not too keen on talking anyway
         F               Dm7     G  C
No, he's not too keen on talking anyway
