Standard (EADGBE)
I'm standing...
Standing in for Joe
Joe called round to ask me
Would I do a favor
While he's gonna be out of town
Said his girl needs company
She gets so restless
Would I keep her safe and sound
Softly softly in the night
F#m F (bass notes EDCBAGF)
Well you can guess the rest
Now these shoes fit all too well
Standing in for Joe
Standing in for Joe
(
'sitar twiddle')
I'm standing in for Joe
Joe said we've been friends so long
That I would be the one
He would trust with his life
Now those words run round my brain
As darkness falls
As I turn out his bedroom light
Who could resist her tender charms
F#m F (bass notes EDCBAGF)
So the story goes
This actor he plays all the parts
Standing in for Joe
Standing in for Joe
(
'sitar twiddle')
Oh, I'm standing in for...
Love is like a river
(
'sitar twiddle')
You cannot stop its flow
Joe called round to ask me
Would I do a favor
While he's gonna be out of town
He says his girl needs company
She gets so restless
Would I check that shes safe and sound
Softly softly in the night
(bass notes EDCBAGF)
Well you can guess the rest
Now these shoes fit all too well
Standing in for Joe
Standing in for Joe
(rinse and repeat)
