Biografia:
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 - Mortimer's Ghost
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
C G
Mortimer's ghost graduates today
C G D
First in his class and well on his way
C D
The dry cleaning king of Baltimore's only kid
C
Thinks back on all the things he almost did
[Verse 2]
G C G
I could've wrecked the car, I could've broke the law
C G D
I could've fell love with every girl I saw
C D
But I didn't, and I missed my chance to fail
C
And if I tried right now, well, I'd probably go to jail"
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
Singing, la la, la la la la la
G
Look at me now
N.C.
I've got it figured out
[Chorus]
G D C
Life is a long conversation
G D C
And love is a call that never ends
Am D
Don't hang up the phone
Bm C
You're not alone
G D
You're with me and I'm with you
C
And we're with friends
[Verse 3]
G C G
Mortimer's ghost calls me to confess
C G D
His job is a joke, his life is meaningless
C D
"They tell you what to do and make you walk the plank
C
Freedom's just another word for, 'You owe the bank'
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
Singing, la la, la la la la la

Look at me now
I've got it figured out

C
And we're with friends
[Bridge]
Em
Buckled up in shirts and ties
G
Waiting for the downsize
Em
Decorate your cubicle
C
You can't go out, your schedule's full
G
Gotta get the kids at five
C
They're judging you by what you drive
Em
They're judging you by what you drive
N.C.
They're judging you by what you drive
[Chorus]

Life is a long conversation
