Along came Jones (video) (midi)

A

1. I plopped down in 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 her! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

He tied her up! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

He turned on the bandsaw! And then ?! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - A E

Ah ah! And then along came Jones, tall thin Jones

A D - - - - - - - - - -

slow-walking Jones, slow-talkin' Jones,

E E7 A

along came long, lean, lanky Jones

2. 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 a-havin' fits,

that villain said, "Give me the deed to your ranch or I'll

blow you all to bits!"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

And then he grabbed her! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

He tied her up! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

He lit the fuse to the dynamite! And then ?! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - A E

Ah ah! And then along came Jones, tall thin Jones

A D - - - - - - - - - -

slow-walking Jones, slow-talkin' Jones,

E E7 A

along came long, lean, lanky Jones.

3. I 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 tryin' to stuff Sweet Sue in a burlap sack,

he said, "If you don't give me the deed to your ranch, I'm

gonna put you on the railroad tracks!"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

And then he grabbed her! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

He tied her up! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

He threw her on the railroad track! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

A train started comin'! And then ?! And then ?!

- - - - - - - - - - - A E

Ah ah! And then along came Jones, tall thin Jones,

A D - - - - - - - - - -

slow-walking Jones, slow-talkin' Jones,

E E7 A

along came long, lean, lanky Jones,

E E7 A

along came long, lean, lanky Jones …..
