[intro]
  F#          E     A
  Na na na na na na na
  F#          A     E
  Na na na na na na na

[verses] 
E                       B
 Georgie Porgie used to get real high
          C#m                      A*
 He used to kiss the world till it made him cry
        A-5                    E
 He was under the bottle's command

E                  B
 But one winter he got it together and 
C#m                      A*
 Happiness came with the warmer weather 
A-5                    E
 Laying across all the land

E                  B
 He had a love she also liked to drink
     C#m                     A
 She got it together but you know what I think?
   A-5                         E
 I think she was still feeling glum

E                       B
 She took a gun and she shot him in the head
C#m                   A
 She shot herself and so they were wed
        A-5              E
 As the air conditioner hummed


[chorus]
 E         B
  Sing for joy
 C#m       A
  Sing for laughs
 A-5       E
  Sing for joy 
 E         B
  Sing for joy
     C#m     A
  If nothing else
 A-5       E
  Sing for joy


[verses] - same exact progression throughout

 Mamma killed a pumpkin, she thought it was a sweet
 She put it on the table but it was still meat
 She forgot the sugar again

 Daddy came home, she had tears in her eyes
 He said "Gimme grilled cheese and paperbag French fries"
 See, he forgot the sugar again

 We had a wander seven years out West
 It wasn't exactly the wilderness
 But I felt like an Israelite

 Mamma is a gypsy, she'll never find her town
 Daddy went to sea but the boat went down
 And the flames shot into the night

[chorus]
  Sing for joy
  Sing for laughs
  Sing for joy 
  Sing for joy
  If nothing else
  Sing for joy

[verses]
 I know a girl who lives on the hill
 I don't know if her sister will
 or I was thinking about her best friend

 Oh listen to me I'm a desperate boy
 I think I better have a sing for joy
 And I guess this has just got to end

 I'll get away in my get away car
 Every now and then I'll send my regards 
 From a payphone down in the flats

 I'm sorry for the love
 I'm sorry for the pain
 I'll say I'm sorry baby again and again
 I'm sorry we're joining the stats 

[chorus]
  Sing for joy
  Sing for laughs
  Sing for joy 
  Sing for joy
  If nothing else
  Sing for joy
