Without the exact chords provided here, a general approach to playing "Joyce the Librarian" would involve:
"Joyce the librarian, strict vegetarian, Forty and living with mum. Wears sandals and glasses, attends evening classes, And wonders if romance will come." Joyce The Librarian By Richard Stilgoe & Peter Skellern Joyce The Librarian By Richard Stilgoe & Peter Skellern. WordPress.com Joyce The Librarian - I'm Trying, Honestly!
Regardless of the interpretation, the song celebrates the introverts who run the world from behind a desk.
(C) Stamp the due date, (G) check it out, (Am) Never any (F) need to (C) shout. (C) Bookmarks ready, (G) summer read, (Am) Joyce knows exactly (F) what you need — (C) Joyce the librarian, (G) you’re the (C) best in town.
(C) Joyce the Librarian... (G) The books are closing now... (Am) Put your chair up on the (F) table, take a (C) bow (F) Somewhere in the (C) reference section, she will (Am) wait (G) For the last lost soul to walk right through the (C) gate.
Keep your voice close to the microphone. Imagine you are actually in a library and shouldn't wake the sleeping patron in the corner. The verses should feel conversational, while the chorus opens up slightly more melodically.
Pre-chorus: Em – D – F – G
