Biography:
Sir Thomas Jones Woodward, KBE (born 7 June 1940), best known by his stage name, Tom Jones, is a Welsh pop singer particularly noted for his powerful voice. He was born in Treforest, near Pontypridd in South Wales.
He rose to fame in the mid-1960s, with an exuberant live act which included wearing tight breeches and billowing shirts, in an Edwardian style popular amongst his peers at the time. He was known for his overt sexuality, before this was as common as it became in subsequent years.

[verse]
G Am
In a town near Albuquerque
D G
Lived a most concerned young boy
G Am
He said lately I have noticed
D G
Folks don't live with peace and joy
G Am
With frowns and worry on their faces
D G
They're lost and don't know where to go
G Am
He said I'll get the people straightened
D G
By putting on a puppet show
[chorus]
G Am
The young New Mexican puppeteer
D G
He saw the people all lived in fear
G Am
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
D G
A puppet telling them what to do
G Am
You know he got some string and he got some wood
D G
He did some carving and he was good
G Am
And folks came running so they could hear
D G
The young New Mexican puppeteer
[verse]
G# A#m
First he carved out young Abe Lincoln
D# G#
Abe will teach 'em civil rights
G# A#m
Then a King named Martin Luther
D# G#
So they'd recall his peaceful fight
G# A#m
Old Mark Twain, his wit and wisdom
D# G#
Will surely show them life is fun
G# A#m
But he smiled with satisfaction
D# G#
When the Prince of Peace was done

A Bm
Now his puppet shows were clever
E A
And he made the people laugh
E Bm
When he got across the message
E A
To walk along life's open path
A Bm
They built him his own puppet theatre
E A
Decked out with spotlights yellow and red
A Bm
And then they wrote him up in all the papers
E A
And this is what the story said
It said...
