Fred Jones, Part 2 Tabulatur von Ben Folds (für Baryton)

Verse: 

C          Am7          Em7          G 
Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark 
             C            Am7        Em7           G 
There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall 
      Am                    F         Am            F 
He's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes 
C                        G 
Things that remind him: 'Life has been good' 
Am 
Twenty-five years 
       F
He's worked at the paper 
C                          G Gsus4 G
A man's here to take him downstairs.


Chorus: 

         C          F 
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones 
G      C 
It's time 



Verse: 


C          Am7          Em7          G 
There was no party, there were no songs 
 C            Am7        Em7           G 
'Cause today's just a day like the day that he started 
Am           F             Am              F 
No one has left here that knows his first name 
          C                         G
And life barrels on like a runaway train 
           Am
Where the passengers change
            F 
They don't change anything 
C                          G Gsus4 G
You get off; someone else can get on 


Chorus: 

         C          F 
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones 
G      C 
It's time 


Bridge: 

Am                             Em 
Streetlight shines through the shades 
        F                        C          G/B 
Casting lines on the floor, and lines on his face 
    F               C 
He reflects on the day 


Verse:

C          Am7          Em7          G 
Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement 
C          Am7          Em7          G 
Projecting some slides onto a plain white 
Am            F         Am          F
Canvas and traces it, fills in the spaces 
     C                            G
He turns off the slides, and it doesn't look right 
           Am           
Yeah, and all of these bastards 
       F
Have taken his place 
C                          G Gsus4 G
He's forgotten but not yet gone 


Chorus:

          C          F
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones 
          C          F
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones 
          C          F
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones 
G      C
It's time
