On The Back Row

Biography:

By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

On The Back Row
Recorded by George Jones
written by Jerry Chestnut and Norris Wilson

C F C
Here I sit on the back row in a church down the street
F C
Not to far from the place where we used to meet
C7 F
And to find me getting though to me you found someone to love
G7 C
But I'll go back to the place that I keep thinking of

F C
It's not a fancy place just a tavern in the lonely part of town
G7 C
Where lonely people find someone that hopes to settle down
F C
They tell me to go and I can't understand
G7 C
Here I sit on the back row while you wed another man

F C
You'd never dream but after many years I may still be sitting there
F C
With just a bottle and two glasses right next to your favorite chair
C7 F
All alone you might not give him and he might even tell you wrong
G7 C
There I'll sit in a tavern waiting for you all alone
