How to play "The Joker" by the Steve Miller Band

"The Joker" is the title track of the 1973 Steve Miller Band album of the same name. This is my acoustic cover, played on my Martin XC1T. This song uses a simple I-IV-V-IV-I chord progression. Steve Miller normally plays it in the key of G:

I - G
IV - C
V - D
IV - C
I - G

I'm playing it in the key of D to match my vocal range:


I - D
IV - G
V - A
IV - G
I - D

Here's what it sounds like when I play it:



Enjoy!
