The Joker Angel Acoustic Guitar Lesson 2 - Steve Miller Band Shaggy

Here is the an acoustic guitar lesson on how to play the lead/bass part of The Joker (Steve Miller Band)/Angel (Shaggy). This is our interpretation of the song which is a little different from the originals (I am playing an acoustic guitar not a bass for a start) but you still get the general idea. This lesson has been done by James from the acoustic covers duo "Handsome Alvin", please check out our covers at:

The Joker Lyrics:

Verse 1 (0:00)
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
'Cause I speak, of the pompetus of love

Verse 2 (0:24)
People talk about me baby
Say I'm doing you wrong, doing you wrong
Well don't you worry baby don't worry
'Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

Chorus (0:47)
'Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker
I get my loving on the run, woooh, woooh

Ooo wee baby I sure show you a good time

Chorus (2:00)
'Cause I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner

I sure dont want to hurt no one

Girl youre my angel, youre my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me ,baby
Shorty youre my angel, youre my darling angel
Girl you are my friend when Im in need ,lady

Verse 1 (0:46)
Life is one big party when youre still young
But whos gonna have your back when its all done
Its all good when you live to have pure fun
Cant be a fool son what about the long run?
Looking back Shorty always a mention
Say me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
Wanna show the nation my appreciation

Closer than my peeps you are to me ,baby
Shorty youre my angel, youre my darling angel
Girl you are my friend when Im in need ,lady

Verse 2 (1:31)
Youre a queen and thats how you should be treated
Though you never get the loving that you needed
Coulda left but I called and you heeded
Begged and I pleaded, mission completed
And no say that I and I dis the program
Not the type to mess around with your emotions
But the feeling that I have for you are so strong
Been together so long and this could never be wrong.

Chorus (1:54)
Girl youre my angel, youre my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me ,baby
Shorty youre my angel, youre my darling angel
Girl you are my friend when Im in need ,lady

Saviour, (You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender so girl I

And you appear to me so tender well girl I
Surrender, (Thanks for giving me your love)

Verse 4 (2:39)
Our life is one big party when youre still young
And whos gonna have your back when its all done
Its all good when you live to have pure fun
Cant be a fool son what about the long run?
Looking back shorty always a mention
Say me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
Wanna show the nation my appreciation

Chorus (3:01)
Girl youre my angel, youre my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me ,baby
Shorty youre my angel, youre my darling angel
Girl you are my friend when Im in need ,lady
