The Unforeseeable Fate Of Mr Jones Ukulele by Foster The People

The Unforeseeable Fate Of Mr Jones Ukulele chords by Foster The People

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Just for me it was the hardest tab that I've ever made
Hope you enjoy it! This one is for ukulele,
but you can play this on guitar same

Intro:
A Am D G B Em
Em A D G B Em B D Bm

Verse 1:
Bm       A
Well Mr. Jones took a terrible fall
Am                D           G
 He had built the stairs but he hadn't counted them all...
B       Em       B  D
 And the lihts... and the pain... said it would rain...
Bm         A  Am
 He said it would snow
     D               G
He always said that, wherever he would go...
B              Em       B  D Bm
 And he would write down his thoughts on the wall

Pre Chorus 1:
          A      Am
Something about the power of it all
D      G       B
Call if you care for me at all
Em           B       D
 I've been surrounded by this loneliness
A F#     B              Em
  And If I could I would do it all over again

B            D    Bm
And I would be calm and wait for you
A          Am     D        G
 To show me all the things that no one else can do
A F#  B                        Em
  Now what you need, what you got, what you want from me
       F#  B             D    Bm
I've got the wild inside to conquer and then I'll be free

Hook 1:
Bm    A       Am
If I was free, if I was free
Am             D         G
I would fly in between the moons of consciousness
B                  Em
 And ride on the back of a shooting star
  F#m       Bm    A Am
And float into your arms

Verse 2:
Am                 D G
And when he woke up, he went outside... and changed the light bulb
B        Em                    B D Bm
 Figured out that life was worth living when you could see
      A          Am            D    G
The doctor said they'd counseled him before and his tired mind of war

Pre Chorus 2:
       F# B              Em
But he was at war with himself and he lost it all
F#     B                 D     Bm
 He was at home now feeling the power of the crumbling wall

Hook 2:
Bm A    Am
Oh,if I was free
Am           D      G
I'd fly in between the moons of indolence
B                    Em
 And I'd ride on the back of a shooting star
  F#m       Bm
And float into your arms
A    Am
If I was free
    D              G
I'd let go of all the weight that's dragging me
B             Em
 And never again and never again
       B               Em
I put it all down and never again and never again

Bridge:
Em G A
Aahhhh
A
Never again
Em G C
Aahhhh
Em G A
Aahhhh
C G  D A
Aa-ah, aa-ah
C G  D A
Aa-ah, aa-ah

Verse 3:
          Am
And he met God that day
                D G
And God said, "Well, welcome in
         B    Em B D Bm A Am
I've been waiting for you
      D
Your bed is warm
        G
Your sheets are made"

B Em D Bm

Hook 3:
Bm    A     Am
Free, and I was free
            D       G
I didn't even know that I'd been captured
B                    Em
 But I remember the call, I remember the call
B                D      Bm
 I remember when your voice came through the wall
     A        Am
And I was there and I was scared
            D       G
I didn't even know that you were listening
B                   Em
 And all those times I was shaking my head
B       D     Bm
 From all the things I'd said

Outro:
A Am D G B Em B D Bm
Ahhh
