Ex-Lover Lucy Jones
Iron & Wine
Notes: This is the song as played in the studio version. Sam Beam plays a lot of different high notes in there with the chords. The chords as written here are basically just the right shapes. The original technically has a lot of variation. If you like to play it as in the studio version just play these chords and add the high notes as he does but watch out; The studio version is a little bit flat. [Intro] | Cadd9 | % | Am | % | x2 [Verse 1] Cadd9 Am Cadd9 This is the place where I met my Lucy Jones I marked it well with a sacred stack of stones I’ll be here when she comes back in town From overseas she’s been traveling ’round [Verse 2] Cadd9 Am Cadd9 A letter came from my sweetheart Lucy Jones She said she’s fine but I shouldn’t try to phone- Her anymore calling costs too much It ended there in sighs and quite abrupt [Harmonica] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 3] Cadd9 Am Cadd9 Have you heard from my ex-lover Lucy Jones? Who crossed the sea and left me here all alone Naught to do but whittle on the bone And sit upon a heavy stack of stones [Outro] | Cadd9 | % | Am | % | x2 | Cadd9 |
