Bm
Me name is Sam Jones and it's bones me occupation
D
Chuck your old hocks out for my consideration
Bm
Thirty years a bone man, up and down the nation
D A Bm
Sam Jones deliver them bones
Em
I've been among the shamrock and I've been among the thistle
Bm
I like it all picked over, clean as a whistle
Em
No sign of meat on, no sign of gristle
G F#m
Sam Jones deliver them bones
Em
I've seen battlefields white with human ivory
Bm
Noble dukes and princes stripped of flesh and finery
Em
When the crows have done their job, they say that's the time for me
G F#m
Sam Jones deliver them bones
Bm
And I even dream of bones when I'm lying very ill
D
Roomsfull of skeletons a-dancing the quadrille
Bm
Rows and rows of skulls singing Blueberry Hill
D A Bm
Sam Jones deliver them bones
Bm
And if you're unburied, the likes of me will find you
D
You're no good to worms, but you might become the finest glue
Bm
We'll grind you up and spread you out as fertiliser, too
D A Bm
Sam Jones deliver them bones
Em
And I've got a lorry, it's me own boneshaker
Bm
Where's there old knuckle joints I'll be the undertaker
Em
I'll come calling 'round just like the butcher and the baker
G F#m
Sam Jones deliver them bones
Bm
Me name is Sam Jones and it's bones me occupation

Chuck your old hocks out for my consideration

Thirty years a bone man, up and down the nation
