Biography:
Josh Joplin Group was an American Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

Josh Joplin - A Hard Year
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Verse 1]
C F
The sky is the colour of white-hot iron
C G
The sun is long overdue
C F
Snow is falling, hopeless and perfect
C G
And I am waiting for you
[Chorus]
Am F
A new afterthought, a stupid idea
C G
I stayed home all day and wished you were here
F G
It's been a hard year
[Verse 2]
C F
No one is safe in a country of spies
C G
The landlord is taking down names
C F
This building is broken, its windows are worthless
C G
And no one ever complains
[Chorus]
Am F
A new afterthought, a stupid idea
C G
I stayed home all day and wished you were here
F G
It's been a hard year
F G
It's been a hard year
C F
It's been a hard year
C G
It's been a hard year
[Bridge]
F G
The ink-spots of birds, shifting in flight
F G
A long afternoon turns to night
F G
And I see the sun through a crack in the sky
F G
And just like that it all passes by
F
It's been a hard year
[Instrumental]
F G F G
[Verse 3]
C F
Front-page pictures are already old
C G
The dishes sit in the sink
C F
Seven long days spent in bed
C G
And I haven't slept a wink
[Chorus]
Am F
A new afterthought, a stupid idea
C G
I stayed home all day and wished you were here
F G
It's been a hard year
F G
It's been a hard year
C F
It's been a hard year
C G
It's been a hard year
