                 "Congratulations Joe" by Chuck Ragan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, this is a really great song by Chuck Ragan and I didnt find the tabs anywhere, so I 
it myself. It was pretty easy (at least I hope so :))
This is my first tab, You ve  been warned!!
Have fun !!

Verse 1:

Woke up one day
and made his way down
       
to the water front as he
did all the days
        
in his 44 years                
as longs as the ships made it in


stands for a cause
stands for a union
    
for another day is gone
a dying breed of workers
    
who lived to carry on           
who died for the age that we're in


Chorus:

in a cloudy haze
    
the fog drifted in
    
and men wore his colors
     
who chose to begin

as a younger man

working through his days
   
to carry home the food
   
to carry home the pay


Verse 2:

Woke up one day
and made his way down
to the water front as he
did all the days
in his 44 years
as long the ships made it in

the best day was the one
milestone in a marathone
on that oakland waterfront
well deserved reward
for a hard working one
served and now deserves
whats to come


Chorus:

in a cloudy haze
the fog drifted in
and men wore his colors
who chose to begin
as a older man
working through every day
to carry home the food
to carry home the pay

End:
(slower)
               
  we all have a cause
             
worth waging war
              
worth making peace to keep
               
  we all have a love
              
whatever that is
           
or whom is thee to seek
               
  there comes a day
        
if were lucky enough
        
and the cards fall our way, i pray
                 
  to sit with the birds
             
and take the boots off
                 
  to sit with the birds
             
and take the boots off
