Joanie, The Jehovah’s Witness Stripper by Paul Thorn
Transcribed by DWdrummer67.
Note: Use U-G's 2nd fret variation for the A5 chord. When paul plays this
he rocks between the Em position and an F#5 position (4th fret same
strings. After the A5 position, he rocks to a B5 position (4th fret same
strings). I merely transcribbed it this way for ease of play. Another
great campfire tune. Enjoy!
Tuning: Standard (capo 4th fret)
Em
She drives a new car, wears expensive blouses
A5 Em
She tells her mama, she’s cleanin’ houses
Em A5
She goes out witnessing, doin’ the Lords work all week
Em F#m
But on the weekends, she’s makin’ ends meet
Chorus:
Em A5 Em
Joanie… the Jehovah’s witness stripper
A5 Em
Put a dollar in her G-string… and she’ll deliver
Em A5 Em A5
If her daddy only knew, he’d probably kill her
Em F#m Em
Joanie… the Jehovah’s witness stripper
Em
One night down at the club, her daddy walked in
A5 Em
He didn’t recognize, his daughter dancin’
Em A5
She wore a blonde wig, he had sun-glasses
Em F#m
When she got naked, he started clappin’
Chorus: (Repeat)
Bridge:
A5 Em
If you ask her why she does it, she looks at it this way
A5 Em
She says I’m countin’ all my blessings, every night when I get paid
A5 Em
She once lived in poverty, now everything’s alright
F#m
The Lord showed her how to make a thousand dollars in a night
Chorus: (Repeat)
