Me Bmname is Sam Jones and it's bones me occupation
DChuck your old hocks out for my consideration
BmThirty years a bone man, up and down the nation
DSam Jones Adeliver them Bmbones
I've Embeen among the shamrock and I've been among the thistle
I Bmlike it all picked over, clean as a whistle
EmNo sign of meat on, no sign of gristle
GSam Jones deliver them F#mbones
EmI've seen battlefields white with human ivory
BmNoble dukes and princes stripped of flesh and finery
EmWhen the crows have done their job, they say that's the time for me
GSam Jones deliver them bF#mones
BmAnd I even dream of bones when I'm lying very ill
DRoomsfull of skeletons a-dancing the quadrille
BmRows and rows of skulls singing Blueberry Hill
DSam JoneAs deliver them bBmones
BmAnd if you're unburied, the likes of me will find you
DYou're no good to worms, but you might become the finest glue
BmWe'll grind you up and spread you out as fertiliser, too
DSam Jones dAeliver them bBmones
EmAnd I've got a lorry, it's me own boneshaker
BmWhere's there old knuckle joints I'll be the undertaker
EmI'll come calling 'round just like the butcher and the baker
GSam Jones deliver them bF#mones
Me Bmname is Sam Jones and it's bones me occupation
DChuck your old hocks out for my consideration
BmThirty years a bone man, up and down the nation
DSam Jones Adeliver them Bmbones
DSam Jones Adeliver them Bmbones
DOh, Sam Jones Adeliver them Bmbones
DSam Jones Adeliver them Gbones
