Along Came Jones Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C#dim]I flopped[A] do[C#dim]wn in[A][G]
my easy chair and turned on channel 2
A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam
was a- 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"

[Verse 2]
And then he [G]grabbed [A]her[G]
[A](And then?)
He tied her up (And then?)
He turned on [G]the buzz [A]saw
(And then? And then?)

[Verse 3]
[A]Ack- ack
And then [G]along came [D]Jones[G]
Tall, [D]thin Jones
[G]Slow- walkin' Jones
Slow- talk[Eb]in' [B]Jones[G]
[A]Along [G]cam[F#]e lon[G]ely[A],
[D]lanky [G]Jones

[Verse 4]
[G]
Commercial came on,
so I got up to get myself a snack
You should've seen what was going
on by the time that I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine,
sweet Sue was a- havin' fits
That villain said, "Give me the deed to [A]your
ranch or I'll [G]blow you all to bits"

[Verse 5]
And then he [G]grabbed [C#dim]her
[A](And then?)
He tied her up (And then?)
He lit the fuse to the dynamite
(And then? And then?)

[Verse 6]
[A]Ack- ack
And [G]then along came [D]Jones[G]
Tall, [D]thin [A]Jones[D]
[G]Slow- walkin' Jones
[A]Slow- [G]talk[Eb]in' [C]Jones
[D]Along came lonely,

[Interlude 1]
lanky Jones
[G][A][G][D][G][A][G][D][G]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 7]
I [G]got so bugged,
I turned it off and turned on another show
But there was the same old shoot-
'em- up and the same old rodeo
Salty Sam was a- 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 track"

[Verse 8]
And then he [G]grabbed her
[A](And then?)
He tied her up (And then?)
He threw her on the rail[Ab]road
[A]track (And then?)
A train started coming (And then?
And [G]then?)[Ab]

[Verse 9]
[Ab]Ack- ack
[G]And [Eb]then [G]along came [D]Jones[G]
Tall, [D]thin [A]Jones[D]
[G]Slow- walkin' Jones
[A]Slow- talkin' [C]Jones
[D]Along came lonely, lanky [G]Jones
[D]Along came lonely, lanky Jones
[G]
