D                      Am
Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so.
Em                                          C              G
That's not what I wanna hear Joe, ain't I got a right to know
D                      Am
Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so
Em                                            C                G
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe. Please tell us it ain't so.
</pre>

''' Verse 1 '''

<pre>
     D
They told us that our hero has played his trump card;
   Am
He doesn't know how to go on.
      Em
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
        C                  G
But the good ol' days have gone.

    D
The image and the Empire may be falling apart

 One man's word held the country together
        C                G
But the truth is getting fierce.
