[Intro]
A E A
[Verse 1]
A D A
In a war-torn land of poverty somewhere across the sea
A E
A little boy is waiting, he looks a lot like me
A D A
His hair is like the sunlight on the wings of a crow
A E A
I don't know what they named him, but I'm sure they call him Joe
[Chorus]
D A
Just a little boy called Joe, like so many more I know
A E
Left all alone somewhere across the sea
A D A
I want him to have my name, little Joe was mine to claim
A E A
The little boy called Joe belongs to me

[Verse 2]
A D A
His mother died to give him life the night my orders came
A E
I wanted to be with him, but war's an evil thing
A D A
Now, he won't recognize me, but I've got to let him know
A E A
He means much more to someone than just a little boy called Joe
[Chorus]

Just a little boy called Joe, like so many more I know
A E
Left all alone somewhere across the sea
A D A
I want him to have my name, little Joe was mine to claim
A E N.C. A N.C.
The little boy called Joe belongs to me
