In The Graveyard Now by Pokey LaFarge 




                 In The Graveyard Now 




[Verse 1]

  Gm                         
I remember last election, Jim Jones got election.
                                                     D
He said he's voting for the man who pays the biggest price.
                                                     D7
The next day after poll, he voted away his heart and soul.
    A                                D
But instead of voting once, he voted twice.


[Chorus 1]

Gm
He's in the jailhouse now.
Cm
He's in the jailhouse now.
D
Instead of staying at home, and leaving the rich folks' business alone:
                      Gm
He's in the jailhouse now.


[Verse 2]

       Gm
Do you remember Henry Cruise? He sold that no good booze.
                                     D
He sold it down to the police at the beat.
And now Henry's feeling funny, 'cause the police give him mob money:
A                                    D
He's got a ball and chain around his feet.


[Chorus 2]

Gm
He's in the jailhouse now.
Cm
He's in the jailhouse now.
D
The judge gave him 10 years, now Henry's shedding tears, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
                      Gm
He's in the jailhouse now.


Solo (over verse + chorus)


[Verse 3]

Gm
Son went walking down the street, a little chick he chanced to meet:
                                D
So he went to every tavern in town.
He drank lots of liquor, and the troubles soon got thicker,
A                  D
now he's jailhouse bound


[Chorus 2]

Gm
He's in the jailhouse now.
Cm
He's in the jailhouse now.
D
And if he's got a political friend, the judges sentence he will surely suspend
                      Gm
He's in the jailhouse now.

[Verse 3]

Gm
Jim Jones likes to roam around, with every little girl in town,
                          D
until he met with Benny's wife.                        (slow down)
Then Benny got him in the face, and now he's a big disgrace.
A                      D
And now he's graveyard bound


[Chorus 2]

Gm
Aaahooooooooo 
Cm
Aiiiiiiiiuuuuuo
D
Well they used to be friends, but let's let that little matter end now
                      Gm        D             Gm
He's in the graveyard now, six feet under the ground..... Two-three-four
