Along Came Jones Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C#dim]I plopped[A] do[C#dim]wn in[A][G]
my easy chair and turned on Channel 2
A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam
Was chasin' poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill
And said with an evil laugh,
"If you don't give me the
deed to your ranch
I'll saw you all in half!"
And then he grabbed [A]her
[G](an[A]d then)
He tied her up (and then)
He turned on [G]the [A]bandsaw
(and then, and then!)

[Verse 2]
And then [G]along came [D]Jones[G]
Tall, [D]thin Jones
[G]Slow-walkin' Jones

Slow-talkin' Jones
[Eb]Jone[B]s[G]
[A]Along [G]cam[F#]e lon[G]g, [A]lean,
[D]lanky [G]Jones

[Verse 3]
[G]
Commercial came on, so I got up
To get myself a snack
You should've seen what was goin' on
By the time that I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine
Sweet Sue was havin' fits
That villain said
"Give me the deed to [A]your ranch
Or I'll [G]blow you all to bits!"
And then he grabbed her
[C#dim](and then[A])
He tied her up (and then)
He lit the fuse to the dynamite (and then,
and then!)
And [G]then along

[Verse 4]

Tall, [D]thin [A]Jones[D]

[Verse 5]
I [G]got so bugged I turned it off
And turned on another show
But there was the same
old shoot-'em-up
And And And the same old rodeo
Salty Sam was tryin' to stuff
Sweet Sue in a burlap sack
He said, "if you don't give me
the deed to [D]your ranch
I'm gonna [G]throw you on
the railroad tracks!"
And then he grabbed her
[A](and then)
He tied her [Ab]up ([A]and then)
A train started comin' (and then,
