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

F5

G7                       Bb          G7

You better leave the Joneses alone

You better leave, oh leave, the Joneses alone, uh-huh

       G7       Gm7         G5  G7 Gm       G5      G7 
Here's what you should say; (Hooray for the Joneses)
Gm7

G5          G7 Gm7          G5      G7 Gm7
Instead you worry 'til your whole head turns gray

(Worryin' about the Joneses)
              G5        G7  Gm7         G5             
Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to
    G7 Gm7
 pay
   G5          G7 Gm7            G5    G7  Gm7
So leave (boom boom) the Joneses alone

It never fails to get you where you want to go

Now listen, if you see somethin' you want
        G5       G7    Gm7
And you know you can't afford it

And let the Joneses be, ow

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