Chords for Steve Gibbons Band - Mr Jones (1977)

I was standing on the corner and this guy came up to me and said,
Hey man, you want a job with real good pay? _
I said, sure I do, but before I move a muscle, I want to know exactly what you've got to say.
He [A] said, I got a little problem.
[E] I'm in a little spot.
[A] I got this little [D] package you see, [E] and it's kind of hot.
Then he pulled out his book, wrote a healthy looking check, said,
This is the kind of dough you can get.
[C] Just take the package and bring it back [E] next week.
On the dot. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I said, is that all I got to do?
He said, that's all you got [Em] to do.
I said, well, this must be my lucky day. _
_ [B] What's in this package?
He said, that really [Em] don't concern you.
Take it and bring it back and you'll get [E] paid like I said.
I [A] got a little problem.
I'm in a little spot.
_ Would you help me a little and I'll help you a lot.
Then he put his hand inside his [D] jacket and pulled out a well sealed [C] package.
There you go.
[G] See you Friday.
[E] Thanks a lot.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _
Oh, Mr.
Jones.
_ [G] Just what's going on?
_ [C#] _ [E]
What's this [C] thing you're giving me?
[E] Mr.
Jones. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, I took the package home and [Em] stashed it in a cupboard.
Then a friend of mine paid me a social call. _
I told my [E] friend, my friend, I said I had some weird jobs in my life.
But this little breeze beats them all.
He [A] said, you must be crazy.
[E] The whole thing sounds [A] insane.
Check that package out to [E] see what it contains.
So we opened it up and he took a sniff [D] and I took a sniff and the dog jumped [C] up and he took a sniff and we just aimed at the same.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Oh, _ _ Mr.
Jones.
_ [G]
Just what's going on?
_ [C#] _ _
[D] What's this thing you're [C] giving me?
[E] Mr.
_ Jones. _ _ _ _ _
Tell me about it.
I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ looked at my watch.
It was 12 hours into Friday, so I thought I better go and see the man.
I said, hi.
He said, yeah, you got the package.
I said, no.
[Em] He smiled at me and said, I understand. _
_ But now [E] we both got problems and you're going to need some bread.
I [F#m] said, how much do I owe?
He said, [E] you're 50 in the red.
But look, I'm an understanding guy.
[D] I'll take four to five.
Give you one more [C] try.
You got a real good pair of shoulders up your [E] head.
Yeah.
_ _ _ [E] _ [A] Oh, _ _ Mr.
Jones.
_ [G]
Just what's going on?
_ [C#] _
What's [C] this thing you're giving me?
_ [E]
Mr.
Jones. _ _ _ _ _
[A] Oh, _ [C#m] Mr.
[A] Jones.
_ [G] _
Just what's going on?
[C] _ _
[E] What's this thing [C] you're giving me?
Mr.
[B] _ Jones.
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [A] _ Oh, Mr.
Jones.
_ [G] Just what's going on?
[C] Don't leave me [D] this way.
_ _ [C] I'll get your money.
_ [E] Hey!
Let me out!
Let me out!
_ [A] _ What is this thing?
_ Could [G] it be the new love potion of my life?
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
