G
I wanna go across the river To the house on oldway road
C G
Where my life began and ended all the same
I remember Chris and Johnny childhood friends of mine
C D
Who grew wise enough to learn to play the game
G
As I walked up to the front yard There were children playing there
C G
And I thought someday this may be my home again
But how soon I learned my lesson Through the windows they threw stones
D G
And said there´ nothing left inside Mr. Jones
G
Seems the folks that used to live there Worked hard for all their means
C G
But their means could never take them to an end There was hope down in the city
D G
Then a bank declined their loan Now there´ nothing left inside, Mr. Jones
Em Bm
Can´t you see that it´ empty now And no one really cares
Em D
For even I must try to save my own
Em Bm
You should turn around and get back on that Lonely oldway road
C D G
´Cause there´ nothing left inside, Mr. Jones
G
I´m going back across the river To see if I can find
C G
The place where life can start and end all the same
G
But no matter where I´m going it will dwell inside my bones That there´ nothing left
D G D G
inside, Mr. Jones No there´ nothing left inside, Mr. Jones No there´ nothing left
D G
inside, Mr. Jones
