  "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" - The Smiths

  (Marr/Morrissey)

  

  transcribed by Adam Schaffer

  

  

  Notes:

  

  Tune up two semitones to F# or capo on the 2nd fret.  As if you

  didn't figure it out, the main part is played on an 12-string

  acoustic.  For chords with asterisks (*) below them, the note on

  the low E string should be played using your thumb.
