Save The Bones For Henry Jones Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Dinner[B]'s being
[Am]served, everybody!
[G]Hold it, man!
Hold it, man!
Brother [B]Henry ain't here!
He don't eat no [G]meat, you know.
[Em]Well, we'll save the [Am]bones
for Brother Henry Jones.
[G]Tonight I'll serve us supper
We'll eat some food that's rare
[C]And at the head of [G]the table
[Em]I'll place Brother Henry's [G]chair
Out and follow the local big dogs
We'll [C]laugh, we'll [C#dim]talk, we'll eat
[G]But we'll save the [B]bone for
[F]Henry Jones
[Am]Cause [G]he's the meat of me
Today I'll go to the market
And I'll buy a whole lot of fish
[C]That's gonna [F]thrill [G]Brother Henry
[Em]Cause [D]that's his spe[G]cialty
I'll get a large can of molasses
So we'll have [C]some things real sweet
[C#dim]And we'll[G] save the b[B]one
for Henry Jones,
cause [Am]Henry don't [G]eat no meat.
Now Henry is not a drinker,
he [Dm]rarely ever [G]takes a [D]nip.
[G]And he don't [Em]need a nap[A]kin,
cause [D]the things he [Am]eat don't drip.
[G]One day we had a banquet,
boy it really was something big.
We [C]started [F]off [G]with short ribs,
[Em]an d we ended up w[G]ith steaks.
But when the feast was over,
Brother [C]Henry just can't be seen.
[C#dim]So we sav[G]ed the bone[B]
[F]for Henry [Em]Jones,
[Am]cause [D]he can eat [G]no meat.[Em]
[G]
[C][C#dim][G][F][Em]
[Am][G]
One day we had a banquet,
man, it really was something.
We [C]started off [G]with short ribs,
[Em]and we ended up [G]with steaks,
but when the feast was over,
Brother Henry [C]just kept his seat,
so [G]we saved [B]a bone for Henry [G]Jones,
[Em]cause [Am]he don't eat [G]no meat.
Saved a bone for Henry Jones,
[B]cause he don't eat no [C]meat.
[G]Well, Henry don't eat no [G]meat.
