INTRO
D G D G
It's a sad day in Floyd County Mr. Jones,
D
Yeah the grief is strong,
A D A
For the man that's gone.
D G D G
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans,
D A D
'Cause its a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones.
C G D
The six children he raised are all weepin',
C G D
For this soft-spoken mountain man.
C G D G
That fed 'em with the money he earned in those black mines,
D A D
And the food he could raise with his hands.
G D G
'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County Mr. Jones,
D
Yeah the grief is strong,
A D A
For the man that's gone.
D G D G
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans,
D A D
'Cause its a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones.
C G D
Though the world knew nothing of his wisdom,
C G D
Or the honest and simple things he did.
C G D G
There's some folks cryin' on this hillside today,
D A D
That know about the humble way he lived.
G D G
'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County Mr. Jones,
D
Yeah the grief is strong,
A D A
For the man that's gone.
D G D G
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans,
D A D
'Cause its a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones.
D G D G D A D
INSTRUMENTAL
C G D
Now this house in the holler stands empty,
C G D
Though his presence in my memory is plain.
C G D G
You know I'd swear that I just saw him walking up that hill,
D G D
I guess this place won't never be the same.
G D G
'Cause it's a sad day in Floyd County Mr. Jones,
D
Yeah the grief is strong,
A D A
For the man that's gone.
D G D G
And at the grave his woman cries and she moans,
D A D
'Cause its a sad day in Floyd County, Mr. Jones.
