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