Verse:

    C majorC          A7A7
Boys, I had a friend by the name of Jones

    D7D7    G+G    C majorC
And his eyes they sure was round

            A7A7
I took old Jones for my personal pal

     D7D7         G+G
Don't you see what Jones has done?

Verse:

  C majorC               A7A7
Now Jones he hung around me like a hungry hound

    D7D7      G+G     C majorC
Took my woman and he left this town

     A7A7         D7D7
And now I wonder, if anybody in here

      G+G          C majorC
Can tell me if they've seen old Jones
