Counting Crows - Mr. Jones: chords

Am                    F         Dm
I was down at the New Amsterdam
                G
staring at this yellow-haired girl
    Am                        F
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with
       G
this black-haired flamenco dancer
          Am                   F              Dm
You know she dances while his father plays guitar.
                G
She's suddenly beautiful
   Am                  F       G
We all want something beautiful,
man, I wish I was beautiful

So come dance this silence down through the morning
Sha, la, la, la, la, la ,la, la, yeah
Uh huh, yeah
Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of that Spanish dancin'
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
'Cause I wanna be someone who believes
Yeah

Chorus:
C    F           G
Mr. Jones and me, tell each other fairy tales
     C                         F
and we stare at the beautiful women
        G
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no,
                  C
she's looking at me."
                 F             G
Smiling in the bright lights, coming through
in stereo
     C          F        G
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

Well, I'm gon' paint my picture
Paint myself in blue, red, black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very,
very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know gray is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

Chorus:
Mr. Jones and me
Look into the future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
She's looking at you
I don't think so
She's looking at me
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me
I will never be lonely

                Fmaj7
I will never be lonely
           Am           G
I'm never gonna be lonely
Am                  F
I want to be a lion.
Everybody wants
to pass as cats
Am                                        G
We all want to be big, big stars, yeah but we
got different reasons for that.
Am                       F
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
    Am                              G
And I want to be someone to believe, to believe,
to believe.

Chorus:
Mr. Jones and me
Stumbling through the Barrio
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
She's perfect for you
Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone
Just a little more funky
When everybody loves you
Oh son, just about as funky as you can be

Mr. Jones and me
Starin' at the video
When I look at the television, I wanna see me
Staring right back at me
We all wanna be big stars
But we don't know why, and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me
I wanna be just about as happy as I can be
Mr. Jones and me
We're gonna be big stars
