Hey Joe Chords by Patti Smith

[Start]

[Verse]
N.C.                         
Honey the way you play guitar
N.C.            
Makes me feel so
N.C.                        
Makes me feel so masochistic
N.C.                                      
The way you go down low deep into the neck
N.C.                                           
And I would do anything and I would do anything
N.C.                                                  
And Patty Hearst you're standing there in front of the
N.C.                                                 
Symbionese Liberation Army flag with your legs spread
N.C.                                           
I was wondering were you gettin' it every night
N.C.                          
From a black revolutionary man
N.C.                                 
And his women or were you really dead
N.C.                                                    
And now that you're on the run what goes on in your mind
N.C.                               
Your sisters they sit by the window
N.C.                                 
And all your mama does is sit and cry
N.C.          
And your daddy
N.C.                                    
Well you know what your daddy said Patty
N.C.                               
You know what your daddy said Patty
N.C.                   
He said he said he said
N.C.                                           
Well sixty days ago she was such a lovely child
N.C.                                  
Now here she is with a gun in her hand

            Ab                                   
So I got my gun I gave her the gun and I shot her
           Ab7                         Ab
I shot her shoot her one more time for me

      Ab              
Where you gonna run to
E                        B         
Got a cover I'm gonna go down South
Gb                         Db    
I'm gonna go down South to Mexico
                    Ab            
I'm going down down down to Mexico
                   Ab  
Where a man can be free
                                  Ab     
No one's gonna put a noose around my neck
                        E      
No one is gonna give me life no
               B                       
I'm goin' down to Mexico I'm going down
Gb                              Db   
You're not gonna hear 'em stand there
                         Ab                      
And look at the stars as big as holes in the arms
                               Ab         
And the sky is like a backdrop like a flag
                   Ab                         
And I was standin' there in front of that flag


[Chorus]
E                              
With a car bomb between my legs
B               Gb         Db             
You know I felt so free of death beyond me
       Ab         Ab7                       Ab   Ab7
I felt ■  so free the FBI is looking for me baby ■  
            Ab                 
But they're not gon' find me no
              E                                     B      
They can hunt me down like a dog and I will stay on the run
                            Gb         
And they can speculate what I'm feelin'
    Db                                 Ab                
But daddy daddy you'll never know just what I was feelin'
              Ab 
But I'll tell you
     Ab7                     Ab       
I am no little pretty little rich girl
              Ab                 
I am nobody's million dollar baby
     E              B      
I am nobody's patsy anymore
                            Gb  
I'm nobody's million dollar baby
    Db                    
I'm nobody's patsy anymore
  Ab   Ab7 Ab E B Gb Db Ab E   
I feel so  ■  ■ ■ ■  ■  ■  free
