capo 4 — sounds 4 semitones higherSong
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 on 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 life, Jackie Brown?
Instrumental Verse
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 couldn't take what was his
One hell of a life, Jackie Brown
Forever more, Jackie Brown
Well amen-n-amen, Jackie Brown
