"Can You Understand My Joy?" - John Gorka from "Temporary Road" 1992

Capo 4th fret
             0x6454
Intro: D   A   E*  G   D  A  G  A  (repeat) 

D            A         E*     G       
Touble comes fast, and leaves to slow

D            A                   G       A
That's how I knew that she would finally go

D                A      E*       G 
It's all dragged on now far too long

    D              A             G         A
The rooms were too small and the words too strong, so...

CHORUS:
    D        G        A
Can you understand my joy?

    D        G        A 
Can you understand my joy?

  D           G      A
I feel like a little boy

    G         A       D    A  E*  G       
Can you understand my joy?


I count my blessings slow and sure
My memory's not a good as it was before
They cut off the lights and the phone calls too
The landlord is knocking and he might break through

repeat chorus

Bridge:
        E
I got a plastic leg in the last short war

         F#                                  G          A
You know I would still fight, but they don't want me no more

  E
So I'm all set with a month of pills

     F#                     G        A   
Just one more shot and it's no more chills, so...


repeat chorus
