[Verse 1]
My CDaddy Made His Living
In G7A Little Southern CTown
And FAfter school was over
I would Chelp him with his G7rounds
He'd Fsit there in his pick-up truck
While I wore out me Cshoes
But he'd already walk beside me
When I G7went up to old CJoe's
Like all Cthe other kids in town
I'd G7never seen his Cface
Though IF used to leave his groceries
At the Cbackdoor of his G7place
And I Fknew somebody lived there
'cause in the morning they'd be Cgone
But the curtains of Old Joe's House
Were G7always tightly Cdrawn
[Chorus]
They G7say that in his Cyounger days he'd Floved another Cman
And when that small town started talking
His friend died by his own G7hand
There Cwhispers among the women
Hard FTalk among the Cmen
But the Curtains of old Joe's house
Were G7never pulled Cagain
[Verse 2]
I Ccould tell you were this happened
ButG7 I think you oughtC to know
That Fright there where you're living
There aCre people like OG7ld Joe
For Feach of us has secrets
That we keep on the backroom Cshelves
Keep them hidden from our neighbours
And G7often from ourselves
But Ceverybodies got the right
To G7be the way they Care
If Fyou're not hurting someone else
Then Cyou've not gone to G7far
So Fbefore you start to criticise
The lives that others Clead
Take a good look in the mirror
And G7be sure of what you Csee
[Chorus]
They G7say that in his Cyounger days he'd Floved another Cman
And what went on beteween them
No one there could G7understand
There were Cwhispers among the women
Hard Ftalk among the mCen
But the curtains of old Joes's house
Were G7never pulled aCgain
