[Verse 1]
[Muted rhythm Guitar over the Bass and Lead Guitar vamp]
G7
Oh, people gather round me
G7
This is to who it may concern
G7
I'm not tryin' to run your life
G7
But you're never too old to learn
G7
Stop worryin' about your neighbors
G7
And the fancy things they've got
G7
'Cause if you do you'll find it's true
G7
You're gonna wind up on the spot, oh


[Chorus]
G7    C7/G    G            C7/G     G7
Don't let the Jones, don't let the Jones
      C7/G    G       C7/G     G7
Don't let the Joneses get you down, woo, one more time
G7    C7/G    G            C7/G     G7
Don't let the Jones, don't let the Jones
      C7/G    G       C7/G     G7
Don't let the Joneses get you down, whoa, down

Ooh, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo


[Verse 2]
[Muted rhythm Guitar over the Bass and Lead Guitar vamp]
G7
Huh, you may not believe it
G7
But nine times out of ten it's true
G7
The people you're tryin' to keep up with
G7
Are tryin' to keep up, too
G7
Remember that old sayin'; "All that glitters ain't gold"
G7
Take heed, don't ignore it, and to your money tightly hold, oh


[Chorus]
G7    C7/G    G      C7/G     G7
Don't let the Jones, don't let the Jones
      C7/G    G       C7/G    G7
Don't let the Joneses get you down whoa, down

(Here me now now)
G7    C7/G    G            C7/G    G7
Don't let the Jones, don't let the Jones

Don't let the Joneses get you down, whoa, down

[Bridge]

G7                      Bb   G7                    D5 F5
You're a leader yourself but you don't even know it
G7                       Bb          G7                       D5 F5
You're so busy followin' Joneses you ain't got time to show it
G7                      Bb      G7                         D5 F5
Keeping up with the Joneses, it only makes your life a mess
G7               Bb                 G7                    D5 F5
Bill collectors, tranquilizers, and gettin' deeper in debt

G7  C7/G   G         C7/G    G7
You better leave the Joneses alone

(Tell 'em one more time)
G7  C7/G   G                    C7/G    G7
You better leave, oh leave, the Joneses alone, uh-huh

Joneses got a new car today
       G7       Gm7         G5  G7 Gm       G5      G7 Gm7
Here's what you should say; (Hooray for the Joneses)
G5          G7 Gm7          G5      G7 Gm7
Instead you worry 'til your whole head turns gray
G5  G7 Gm7          G5     G7 Gm7
(Worryin' about the Joneses)
              G5        G7  Gm7         G5                 G7 Gm7
Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to pay
   G5          G7 Gm7            G5    G7  Gm7
So leave (boom boom) the Joneses alone
      G5       G7 Gm7   G5   G7 Gm7
Listen, your car may be old but, remember
   G5             G7  Gm7 G5        G7      Gm7
It never fails to get you where you want to go


[Chorus]

Of many a person you see

And let the Joneses be, ow
