Old Joe Clark is a modal old-time tune known for its bright, slightly quirky sound — that flatted seventh you hear (the F chord against the G) is what gives it character. It's a jam favorite that's been sung with dozens of floating verses over the years.
It's commonly played with G-shape chords and a capo at the 2nd fret to sound in A. Just a couple of chords for the parts, with a D to turn it around, make it approachable for beginners while staying fun to solo over.
