Ben Folds - Fred Jones Pt. 2



C	Am	Em	G
Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark
C	Am	Em	G
There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall
Am	Am/F	Am	Am/F
He's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes
C	C	G	G
Things that remind him: 'Life has been good'

Fmaj7
Twenty-five years
Fmaj7/D (x57555)
He's worked at the paper
C	C	G	G
A man's here to take him downstairs
C	G	F
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
G	C
It's time

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

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

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

Solo over Am G ?

C	Am	Em	G
Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
C	Am	Em	G
Projecting some slides onto a plain white
Am	Am/F
Canvas and traces it
Am	Am/F
Fills in the spaces
C	C	G	G
He turns off the slides, and it doesn't look right
	   Fmaj7
Yeah, and all of these bastards
	Fmaj7/D
Have taken his place
C			G
He's forgotten but not yet gone

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

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord B

    B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: B ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Open
  3. 3

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
