G                          Dm                Am
Say it ain't so Jo, please, say it ain't so
                                       F               C

I'm sure they're telling us lies, Jo, please, tell us it ain't so-oh


     G 
They told us that our hero has played his trump card
   Dm    
He doesn't know how to go on
      Am
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
    F                   C
The good old days have gone


INTERLUDE: G    Dm    Am    F  C


    G 
The image and the empire may be falling apart
    Dm    
The money has gotten scarce
Am
One man's word held the country together
        F                  C
But the truth is getting fierce


SEE-C HORUS
