I've grabbed a lot of stuff from here without posting anything, so I thought
I'd post something that's on the most.wanted list at ftp.nevada...
Here are the chords to Jackie Brown by John Mellancamp. Also, there is one
recognizable little riff that appears throughout the song, which goes like
this:
e ---------------------------------------------|
B ---------------------------------------------|
G --------0-----------------------0------------|
D ----0-2---2-0---0-2---------0-2---2-0---0----|
A --3-----------3-----------3-----------3---3--|
E ---------------------------------------------|
C/G is C with G bass added: 3-3-2-0-1-0
(Also, I believe this is capo'd on the 4th fret)
JACKIE BROWN - John Mellencamp
------------------------------
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live on the
poor side of town
Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown?
This pretty little girl in worn out clothes that have
been hand-me-down
Is this your wife, Jackie Brown?
Sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells, so you
don't see her frown
Is this your family Jackie Brown?
Dream of vacationing in a mountain stream
and giving the world more than it gave you
What ugly truths freedom brings
and it hasn't been very kind to you
Is this your family, Jackie Brown?
Is this your meal, Jackie Brown?
Barely enough, I've seen people throw more
than this out
Is this your home, Jackie Brown?
This three room shack, with no running water
and the bathroom out back
Is this your grave, Jackie Brown?
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man
took himself out
Is this your dream, Jackie Brown?
Going nowhere, and nowhere fast
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live
But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown
Just another lazy man who could take what was his
One hell of a life, Jackie Brown
Forever more, Jackie Brown
Well amen-n-amen, Jackie Brown
