NATHAN JONES

Intro: C

Verse 1:

                F7
You packed your bags, as I recall,
And you walked slowly, down the hall.
                    Bb
You said you had to get away, to ease your mind,
            C
And all you needed, was a just little time.

Bridge 1:

     Eb       Ab      G7         C
But, winter's passed, spring and fall.
You never wrote me, you never called.

Chorus 1:

       Bb                 F        C
Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long. Gone too long...

Verse 2:

     F7
If a woman, could die of tears,
Nathan Jones, well, I wouldn't be here.
                    Bb
The key that you're holding, won't fit my door,
               C
And there's no room in my heart, for you no more.

Bridge 2:

     Eb       Ab      G7         C
But, winter's passed, spring and fall.
You never wrote me, you never called.

Chorus 2:

       Bb                 F        C
Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long. Gone too long...

Break:

F

F
 Nathan Jones, Nathan Jones... Nathan Jones, ooh..

Bridge 3:

     Eb       Ab      G7         C
But, winter's passed, spring and fall.
You never wrote me, you never called.

Chorus 3:

       Bb                 F        C
Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long. Gone too long...

Chorus 4:

       Bb                 F        C
Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long. Gone too long...
       Bb                 F        C
Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long. Gone too long...

G                  C                  - G
1. I need love, love, to ease my mind,
      Bm        - Em            Am                   D
   I need to find, find,      someone to call mine. But mama said:
 
         G               C                 G 
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait.
 Bm                     Em   Am                   D
She said, love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take.
  G                 C                 G
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait,
   Bm   Em                   Am              D
you got to trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes.
 
           Bm
2. But how many heartaches must I stand,
              Em 
    before I find a love to let me live again.
                    Am 
    Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on,
       D                                       D7
    when I feel my strength, yeah, it's almost gone.
 
    I remember, (mama said) :
 
         G                C                 G 
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait.
 Bm                     Em  Am                   D
She said, love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take.
G                        C             G
How long must I wait, how much more can I take,
 Bm    Em         Am                      D
before loneliness will cause my heart, heart to break?
 
        Bm
3. No, I can't bear to live my life alone,
         Em
    I grow impatient for a love to call my own.
            Am
    But when I feel that I, I can't go on,
 
  D                         D7
  these precious words keep me hanging on.I remember,(mama said):
 
 G                      C                 G 
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait.
   Bm                    Em   Am                   D
She said, love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take.
  G                      C                 G
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait.
  Bm   Em                    Am       D          - G ~
She said trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes.
 
            G               C     - G
4. No, love, love, don't come easy,
       Bm       Em          Am   D
    but I keep on waiting, anticipating 
     G                             C        G
    for that soft voice, to talk to me at night,
       Bm      Em          Am         D
    for some tender arms, to hold me tight.
         G                C      - G
    I keep waiting, I keep on waiting,
        Bm    - Em           Am             D
    But it ain't easy,         it ain't easy. But mama said :
 
 G                 C                 G
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait.
  Bm             Em         Am              D
She said trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes.
 G                 C                 G 
You can't hurry love, no, you just have to wait.
   Bm                     Em   Am                   D
She said, love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take...

C                 Em
Baby, baby, I'm aware of where you go
Gm            A
Each time you leave my door
F                G
I watch you walk down the street
F                  G
Knowing your other love you'll meet
C                        Em
But this time before you run to her
Gm           A
Leaving me alone and hurt
F
Think it over After I've been good to you ?
G
Think it over After I've been sweet to you ?

(CHORUS)
Am           G            F          G
Stop! In the name of love before you break my heart
F           G             F          G
Stop in the name of love, before you tear us apart
C  C  F  F  C  C  F  F
Think it over, Think it over

I've known of your, Your secluded nights
I've even seen her , Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression, Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?

(CHORUS)

I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever

C       F              C         F
All day long I hear my telephone ring,
        C              F       C   F
Friends calling giving their advice.
         C     F              C      F
From the boy I love, I should break away,
      C                F         C
Cause heartaches he'll bring one day.

#2.
F                       G
I lost him once through friend's advice,
         Em               Am
But it's not gonna happen twice.
F                         G
Cause all advice has ever got me,
         Em                 Am
Was many long and sleepless nights.

I got him back in my arms again....so satisfied.

#3.
     C        F               C       F
It's easy for friends to say, let him go.
    C               F         C  F
But I'm the one who needs him so.
C        F         C        F
It's his love that makes me strong,
    C         F        C
without him I can't go on.
F                      G
This time I'll live my life at ease,
      Em           Am
being happy lovin' whom I please.
F                G                     Em
And each time we make romance, I'll be thankful
      Am
for a second chance.

How can Mary tell me what to do,
         C        F       C
When she lost her love so true?
    C     F         C
And Flo...she don't know,
F         C       F          C
Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo.
F                     G
I listened once to my friend's advice,
         Em               Am
But it's not gonna happen twice.

Hey life, look at me; I can see the reali-ty.
              G                 C
'Cos when you shook me, took me out of my world;
  A#      D#               G#      D7            (G)
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up, to The Happen-ing.

              G            C                   A#      D#
'Cos when you got a tender love you don't take care of,

Yeah, came and broke my pretty balloon, I woke up,

Suddenly I just walked up, to The Happen-ing.

So sure, I felt se-cure, until love took a de-tour.

And learn the way       of     love, my baby

A

Verse 1:

Am
 Mama was cookin' bread,
F                                 C
 She wore a dirty raggedy scarf a-round her head.
               Em                                      G
Always had her stockings low, rolled to her feet; just didn't know.

Verse 2:

           Am
She wore a sloppy dress,
      F                                C
Oh no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess.
           Em                                  G
Out of the pot she ate; never used a fork or a dinner plate.

Bridge 1:

Bm            A7                                D
 I was always so afraid my uptown friends would see her.
Bm                   A7                        D
 Afraid one day when I was grown, that I would be her.

Interlude:

F#

Verse 3:

     Bm
In a college town,
  G                        D
A-way from home, an identi-ty I found.
           F#m                                 A
That I was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet..

Verse 4:

            Bm
I must have been insane;
  G                                    D
I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain.
    F#m                                    A
She never got out of the house; never even boarded a train.

Bridge 2:

Bm                  A7                                D
 Married a guy, was living high; I didn't want him to know her.
    Bm              A7                               D
She had a grandson, two years old, that I never even showed her.

Chorus 1:

D              Dmaj7          D7       G, Gm
 I'm living in shame; Mama, I miss you.
D                     Dmaj7          D7       G, Gm
 I know you're not to blame; Mama, I miss you.

Verse 5:

         Am
Came the telegram;
F                              C
 Mama passed away while making home made jam.
   Em                                G
Be-fore she died she cried to see me by her side.

Verse 6:

           Am
She always did her best,
    F                                     C
Ah, cooked and cleaned, and always in the same old dress.
Em                                       G
 Working hard, down on her knees; always trying to please.

to be without the simple things,
D            F                       E
so afraid my friends would see...the guilt in me.

           B

      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds

                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:

Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus
