Chords for Joe C Biography from VH1 Fanclub

_ _ I got one [F#] of those.
Straight out of the streets of town.
Yes you [Em] did.
3 feet high, ready to [A] get blind.
Give it up for Joe [B] C!
_ _ _ Hey [F#] homie,
you know we got to get on stage.
I'm Mr.
Rico, [G#] I'm Mr.
Rico.
[F#] I'm gonna be sick,
and I'm gonna [G] be sick.
[F#] _
_ _ _ Party, [G#] _ [F#] party,
party, [A] party,
_ [F#] party, party,
party, party, party, _ party, _ party_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ Joey was the ultimate fan.
I still remember the first time we [B] saw him
at the Palladium in Roseville, Michigan.
And he [D] was standin' on a [F#] bar stool
or something, a friend was holdin' him up,
I don't know what, [E] and you could see who he was,
and after the show we were all like,
hey, if I see that little kid out there,
like I can't believe someone brought their kid
to this show, you know?
[A#] It's not exactly a show for the entire family.
[G#] It's not dinner and let's go see Kid Rock [F#] with the kids.
_ _ And eventually he would come to the shows
and I would give him the mic and I'd be like,
this is crazy, this is nuts.
And finally he got backstage to meet me.
I met him after the show, he was kinda tripped out.
So I come downstairs and I'm like, what's up my man?
And I'm like, are you lost, where's your dad?
And he starts cussin' at me, man, I'm this, 21,
I wanna rock out with you, blah, blah, blah.
He asked somebody, where's his dad?
And so I was like, do you want a job?
And he's like, what?
And I'm like, come on, let's go. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A#] Yeah, _ [D]
he was always cool from the day I first met [D] him.
Now we're friends, I mean we're [C#] business partners too,
but we're [G#] friends, you know what I'm _ sayin'? _ _
[F#] _ I'm getting fat, though, _ _ [A] I'm getting fat, [F#] _ though.
[A] I'm getting fat, [F#m] though, I'm getting [F#] fat, though.
_ [A] _ _ [F#] _ _
[E] Some people in the class of 93, [C#] _ _
JFK, Kennedy,
_ _ _ _ [A#] talked back [C#] then.
_ _ _ Now look who's talking _ _ _ nationwide, _ me.
_ [E] _ I take too many pills, _ I'm too heavy.
_ [B] _ _
I felt like that was written for me.
[A] _ _ _
_ _ Still I [E] feel the same.
It ain't all it's cracked up to be either, though, being famous. _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
Traveling sucks, flat out,
_ [A] especially when you got medical issues.
I know it was [E] hard for him, taking 67 pills a day and hooking up,
but I was like, you know, I'm not gonna let you just sit in Taylor and die.
I was like, you got [D] the world by the balls,
you got every opportunity out there, I want you to see this,
[A] I want you to experience this.
[E] His dad even said he hated going, but every [Em] time he went, man,
I mean, you saw [E] him on the road, he was having a [C#m] ball.
[G#] I got it on videotape somewhere where I got money on the table,
and I'm like, every time you get it wrong, I'm gonna take away a dollar.
And we were both broke, and he was even more broke than me.
And he got right right after that, I'm like, this kid likes money.
I got [B] his bag.
He never went out of the house a lot, he always felt kind of depressed,
[D] because everywhere he [F#] went was hard, people laughed at him and stuff.
I mean, the kid had never been out of Taylor, [E] Michigan, really,
I think he might have saw his grandparents once, he told me in Arizona or something,
but that was it.
He got to see so much stuff, [B] he got to see more stuff
than most people will ever see in a lifetime, in 2, 3 [E] years,
maybe this 5, 6 [A] years I knew him.
[F#] _ I mean, [E] I feel good about that, so that kind of took away a lot of the pain
and a lot of the hurt, [N] just knowing that he's on top [B] of us. I'm _ pissed.
[A] Oh, son.
I know there's more [E] to life than _ this.
_ This is what [C#m]
I'm talking about.
[E] And, _ [B] _ go down, go down.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ He was so much fun.
Yeah, I just wanted to [D] be around him, because I thought he was cool.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ He _ did it, man.
Step into the front, because it's my time to shine,
so give me the [B] mic and let me go for mine.
I'm dropping rhymes like I'm dropping_
The only [E] way I can explain it to people, and when I'm looking at pictures
[A] or I'm looking at old [E] videos of us and stuff, _
is, man, that kid just brought so much joy to everybody, including myself.
[B] Just meeting him that day and having him by my side,
from that time [A] on, was like, it made me smile.
_ God [E] knows why _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
The woman got [E] no water _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ to [E] the river _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
I just feel blessed that I got to experience everything I [D] did with him. _
[E] I got so much love for that kid, I always will. _ _ _
