Verse:

        C                   A7
Boys, I had a friend by the name of Jones

        D7        G        C
And his eyes they sure was round

                        A7
I took old Jones for my personal pal

          D7                 G
Don't you see what Jones has done?

Verse:

    C                              A7
Now Jones he hung around me like a hungry hound

        D7           G         C
Took my woman and he left this town

          A7                 D7
And now I wonder, if anybody in here

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

          A7            D        G          C
Jones, oh Jones, oh you know you can't last long
