Mr Jones By The Mavericks. The record version is in A# so capo 3rd fret and play these chords. Listen to track for rhythm G G I wanna go across the river G G To the house on oldway road G C G Where my life began and ended all the same G G I remember Chris and Johnny G G childhood friends of mine G A7 Who grew wise enough to A7 D learn to play the game G G As I walked up to the front yard G G There were children playing there G C And I thought someday this C G may be my home again G G But how soon I learned my lesson G G Through the windows they threw stones G G And said there's nothing G D left inside Mr. Jones CHORDS REPEAT FOR NEXT TWO VERSES I went next door to ask the neighbor If they knew what happened here To the place where all my memories remain As they recalled and tried to answer Tears rolled down their eyes But the best reply they had was made in vain Seems the folks that used to live there Worked hard for all their means But their means could never take them to an end There was hope down in the city Then a bank declined their loan Now there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones [Chorus] Em Em Can't you see that it's empty now G G And no one really cares Em D For even I must try to save my own Em Em You should turn around and get back on that G Lonely oldway road C D 'Cause there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones [Repeat chorus] I'm going back across the river To see if I can find The place where life can start and end all the same But no matter where I'm going it will dwell inside my bones That there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones No there's nothing left inside, Mr. Jones
