Me and Mrs Jones ---
[F#m7] [Fm7] [Em9] . . . . . . . .
we got a thi-i-i-ing go ing on
[Em7] [G/A]
We both know that it's wrong
[A7+5] [Dmaj7] [D6] [F#7] [F#7+5]
But it's much too strong to let it go no-o-o-o-w
[Bm7] [F#m7]
We meet ev'ry day at the same café
[Fm7] [Em7] [G/A] [Dmaj7] [F#7] ! (horns)
Six -thirty I know she'll be there
[Bm7] [F#m7]
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
[E7] [G/A]
While the jukebox plays our favorite song
[Dmaj7] [Em7/D] [Dmaj9] [D6]
Me and ------ Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones Mr.Jones
[F#m7] [Fm7] [Em9] . . . . . . .
we got a thi-i-i-ing go ing o-o-on
[Em7] [G/A]
We both know that it's wrong
[A7+5] [Dmaj7] [D6] [F#7] [F#7+5]
But it's much too strong to let it go now
[Bm7] [F#m7]
We gotta be extra careful
[Fm7] [Em7] [G/A] [Dmaj7] [F#7] ! (horns)
That we don't build our hopes too high
[Bm7] [F#m7] [E7] [G/A]
Cause she's got her own obligations and so and so do I-I-I
[Dmaj7] [Em7/D] [Dmaj9] [D6]
Me-e-e-e a-a-a-a-and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs. Jones Mrs. Jones
[F#m7] [Fm7] [Em9] . . . . . . .
we got a thi-i-i-ing go in on
[Em7] [G/A]
We both know that it's wrong
[A7+5] [Dmaj7] [D6] [F#7] [F#7+5]
But it's much too strong to let it go now
[Bm7] [F#m7]
Well, it's time for us to be leaving
[Fm7] [Em7] [G/A] [Dmaj7] [F#7] ! (horns)
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
[Bm7] [F#m7]
Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
[E7] [G/A]
Tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same ti-i-ime
[Dmaj7] [Gmaj7] [Dmaj9] [Gmaj7]
Me-e-e-e- a-a-a-a-and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones Mrs. Jones
[Dmaj7] [Gmaj7] [Dmaj7] [Gmaj7]
we got a thing goin on
( alternate Dmaj7 and Gmaj7 with following lyrics to fade )
We gotta be extra careful
We can't afford to build our hopes up too high
I wanna meet and talk to you
At the same place, the same cafe, the same time
And we're gonna hold hands like we used to
We gonna talk it over, talk it over
We know, they know
And you know and I know it was wrong
But I'm thinking strong
We gotta let 'em know now
That we got a thing going on, a thing going on
