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)
DO/SOL
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live on the
MIm
poor side of town
DO/SOL
Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown?
This pretty little girl in worn out clothes that have
MIm
been hand-me-down
DO/SOL
Is this your wife, Jackie Brown?
Sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells, so you
MIm
don't see her frown
FA SOL DO/SOL
Is this your family Jackie Brown?
FA DO/SOL
Dream of vacationing in a mountain stream
LAm SOL
and giving the world more than it gave you
FA DO/SOL
What ugly truths freedom brings
LAm SOL
and it hasn't been very kind to you
FA SOL DO/SOL
Is this your family, Jackie Brown?
DO/SOL
Is this your meal, Jackie Brown?
Barely enough, I've seen people throw more
MIm
than this out
DO/SOL
Is this your home, Jackie Brown?
This three room shack, with no running water
MIm
and the bathroom out back
DO/SOL
Is this your grave, Jackie Brown?
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man
MIm
took himself out
FA SOL DO/SOL
Is this your dream, Jackie Brown?
FA DO/SOL
Going nowhere, and nowhere fast
LAm SOL
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live
FA DO/SOL
But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown
LAm SOL
Just another lazy man who could take what was his
FA SOL DO/SOL
One hell of a life, Jackie Brown
FA SOL DO/SOL
Forever more, Jackie Brown
FA SOL DO/SOL
Well amen-n-amen, Jackie Brown
