Capo: 4

Corey's Comin' Harry Chapin This is the best I could do, It's also only the second one i could find all over. If don't like it, Fix it. so really theres only 3 parts to the song... theres the first part of the verse, "Old Joseph...is time." the second part of the verse "I come by...for the last." and the also the whole song is capo'd at 4 or 5. capo 5 the chords (relative to capo) go: pt1: D, G, D, Em, A, G, A pt2:Em, Bm, C, A, Em, Bm, D Ch: D, G, Em, A, G, A, D, A, D G/F#: e|-3----| B|-3----| G|-0----| D|-0----| A|-0----| E|-2----| G/E: e|-3----| B|-3----| G|-0----| D|-0----| A|-0----| E|-0----| D*: e|-0----| B|-3----| G|-2----| D|-0----| A|----- E|-----

^DOld John Joseph was a ^Gman with two first ^Dnames Em A G ^AThey left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains ^DOnly one run a week comes on ^Groaring down that ^Dline Em A G G/F# ^EmSo all he's got to worry 'bout is time.

I ^Emcome by in the evening to ^Bmhear 'bout where he's been He^C says - Come on sit down Kid, ^Awhere shall I begin' He starts ^Emtelling me the stories of the ^Bmglories of his past C D/sus2 D D* D But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last.

And he says - My ^DCorey's coming. No more ^Gsad stories coming My ^Emmidnight-moonlight-^Amorning-glory's ^Gcoming aren't you ^Agirl' And ^Dlike I told you, when she ^Gholds you She ^Aenfolds you in her ^Dworld.

^DI was quite surprised to find out all the ^Gplaces that he ^Dknew And ^Emso I asked the ^Atownfolk if his ^Gstories were ^Atrue They said - ^DOld John was born here, ^Ghe's lived here all his ^Dlife He's ^Emnever had a ^Awoman, ^Glet alone a ^Awife.

And ^Emvery soon you'll find out ^Bmas you check around That ^Cno one named Corey's ever ^Alived in this town So I^Em chided the old man 'bout the ^Bmtruth that I had heard C D/sus2 D D* D But he smiled and said - Reality is only just a word.

^DI came by one evening ^Gbut he did not hear ^Dmy shout ^EmI looked in the ^Awindow and ^Gsaw the fire was ^Aout ^DWhen he would not wake up I ^Gforced in the ^Ddoor ^EmAnd found that Old John ^AJoseph would tell ^Gstor^Aies no ^Dmore.

^DmThe scene at the graveyard, three of us were there ^DmMe and the gravedigger ^Emheard the parson's ^Aprayer ^AHe said - We need not grieve for this man, ^AFor we know that God cares!

^DThey put the cold dirt over him and ^Gleft me on my ^Down ^EmAnd when at last I l^Aooked up I ^Gsaw I was not ^Aalone ^DSo I said - If you're a relative, he ^Ghad a peaceful ^Dend. ^EmShe said - My name is ^ACorey - you can ^Gsay I'm ^Ajust a ^Dfriend.

^DCorey's coming, no more ^Gsad stories coming My ^Emmidnight-moonlight-^Amorning-glory's ^Gcoming aren't you ^Agirl' And ^Dlike I told you, when she ^Gholds you She ^Aenfolds you in her ^Dworld.

So ^Dthat's the old man's story, I'm ^Gglad you came ^Dtonight A ^Embusted down old ^Arailroad yard sure ^Gmakes a lonely ^Asight You may wonder ^Dwhy a young man would ^Gwork out here ^Dalone Em A G G/F# ^EmWell the job pays enough to keep some flesh on my bones.

^EmAnd I confess I get to missing ^Bmthe old man a bit C D/sus2 D D* D And there's one other reason I guess I should admit - Can't you see my ^DCorey's coming, no more ^Gsad stories ^Dcoming My ^Emmidnight-moonlight-^Amorning-glory's ^Gcoming aren't you ^Agirl' And ^Dlike he told me, ^Gwhen she holds me She ^Aenfolds me in her ^Dworld.
