Alison Krauss - Wild Bill Jones guitar chord

Wild Bill Jones (Traditional)

Simple to play. Here we go...

CAPO FRET 2

Intro: A | E | A | E | A

As I went out for to take a little walk

E A

I came upon that Wild Bill Jones

He was walkin' and a-talkin' by my true lover's side

E A

And I bid him to leave her alone

(Banjo solo: A | E | A | E | A)

He said, "My age is twenty-one,

E A

Too old to be controlled."

I pulled my revolver from my side

E A

And I destroyed that poor boy's soul

(Dobro solo: A | E | A | E | A)

He reeled and he staggered then he fell to the ground

E A

And then he gave one dyin' moan

Well, he wrapped his arms around my little girl's neck

E A

Said "Honey, won't you take me home."

(Guitar solo: Improv. and/or A | E | A | E | A)

So put them handcuffs on me boys

E A

And lead me to that freight car gate

I have no friends or relations there

E A

No one for to go my bail

(Fiddle solo: A | E | A | E | A)

So pass around that ol' longneck bottle

E A

And we'll all go on a spree

Today saw the last of Wild Bill Jones

E A

And tomorrow'll be the last of me
