Intro A D


MMmmmmm

D
Well a good ways down the railroad track
G
There was this little old rundown shack
A         G       A  A7
And in it lived a man I`d never seen....
D
Folks said he was a mean and a vicious man
G
And you better not set foot on his land
A          A7         D
But I didn`t think nobody could be that mean....

So I took me out walking down the railroad track
G
I was a gonna` go down to that little old shack
     A          A7          A
And just find out if all them things I`d heard was true
      D
There was a big black dog laying out in the yard
    G
And it growled at me and I swallowed hard
   A                D
And I heard somebody say well who are you

Oh and there he stood in the door of that shack
    G
And His beard and his hair was long and black
  A     G          A
And he was the biggest man I`d ever seen
    D
When he spoke his voice was low and deep
  G
But he just didn`t frighten me
    A               D
`Cause somehow I just knew he wasn`t mean

He said what you doing snoopin` `round my place
  G
And I saw a smile come across his face
A           G       A
So I smiled back and I told him who I was
D
He said come on in and pull you up a chair
G
You might as well since you already here
  A              D
And he said you can call me Joshua



G   D
Joshua Joshua
A             D
Whatcha` doin` livin` here all alone
G   D
Joshua Joshua
A            G     D
Ain`t you got nobody to call your own
  E
No no no no




We talked `til the sun was clean out of sight
  A
And we still talkin` when it come daylight
  B         A       B  B7
And there was just so much we had to say hey
  E
I`d spent my life in an orphan`s home
  A
And just like him I was all alone
B                  E
So I said yeah when he asked if I`d stay

Oh we grew closer as time went on
     A
And that little old shack it was a happy home
  B        A         B  B7
And we just couldn`t help but fall in love
   E
That big black dog and that little old shack
A
Sittin` down by the railroad track
   B                 E
It`s plenty good enough for me and Joshua



A   E

B              E
