Mister Joe Henry's Happy Hand Clappin'
Recorded by Charley Pride
Written by Larry Lee and Glenn D. Tubb

C
Now Mister Joe Henry was a happy little man
    D7                     C
Who became a legend in our town

Most everybody owes a lot of the smiles  
       D7                        G7
To the happy sounds that he puts down

       C
He had one guitar and four other guys
    F                             C
Who kept time with their clappin’ hands
            F                  C          D7
We call him Mister Joe Henry’s happy hand clappin’
G7              C
Open air rhythm band

           G7
Oh you can find ‘em every evening when the sun went down
       F                    C
At the corner of fourth and main
   D7
It didn’t take much of that hand clappin’ rhythm
   G7
To start the sun a-shinning again

  C
I can’t help but feel this part of the world
   F                              C
Is supposed to do the good Lord’s plan
           F                  C          D7
Because of Mister Joe Henry’s happy hand clappin’
G7              C
Open air rhythm band


We’d all gather around and call out the names 
   D7                        C
Of our favorite songs of the day

But it didn’t much matter to mister Joe Henry
     D7                        G7
They all came out the same ol’ way

       C
Even melancholy baby had to put on a smile
       F                      C
In the presence of this happy man
             F                  C          D7
Yes that was mister Joe Henry’s happy hand clappin’
G7              C
Open air rhythm band

Repeat #3,4 

           F                  C          D7
Because of Mister Joe Henry’s happy hand clappin’
G7              C
Open air rhythm band
