Jonesy Boy

E  A  E


[Verse 1]
A
Cats hissing in the dark
C#m
Turned-over garbage cans around the 
park
D                                  
The dangling, brittle scab on your 
G
knee
F#m               B7
Oh, you’re pretty cocksure, son
F#m                     B7
You’re like a Villonian singing nun
F#m                B7            
Pray you wash your hair out in a 
E
sink


[Verse 2]
A
Armed with a mandolin
C#m
A snotted rag and a Delphic hymn
D                             G
Shaking off the dew before it sticks
F#m           B7
Oh, give us a melody
F#m                      B7
Before they send us back to the sea
F#m                  B7          
Replace these wooden legs for 
       E
ones that kick

Oh,  Jonesy

[Verse 3]
A
I can’t remember before
C#m
There ever was war
D                        G
My boyhood home is now a jail
F#m                 B7
They paved over the ol’ creek
F#m                B7
To make a road for lumbering teak
F#m                B7        E
And shipped off my family by rail


[Verse 4]

A
Oh, I hope you stay a boy
C#m
At least to bring some old men joy
D                                
Even just to watch you tune your 
G
strings
F#m                 B7
They’re blowing the show or now
F#m          B7
Off to stick another sow
F#m                B7     
The soil is hungry again for 
   E
offerings

[Chorus]
A    E
Oh,  Jonesy

Oh, Jonesy Boy

Oh, Jonesy Boy
