[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
E                               
■ Is this your life Jackie Brown
                                          G#m              
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town
E                                   
■ Is this your daughter Jackie Brown
     E                 
This pretty little girl
       E               
In the worn out clothes
          G#m             
That have been handme down
E                               
■ Is this your wife Jackie Brown
                                           G#m                    
With sad blue eyes walking on eggshells so you don't see her frown
A              B             E    
■ Is this your family Jackie Brown


[Chorus]
A                           E              
■ Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream
C#m C#m7                          B       
And giving the world more than it gave you
A                  E             
■ What ugly truths freedom brings
       C#m                      B  
And it hasn't been very kind to you
A              B           E    
■ Is this your life Jackie Brown

[Verse]
             E                
Is this your meal Jackie Brown
                                          G#m          
Barely enough I've seen people throw more than this out
E                               
■ Is this your home Jackie Brown
E                    
This three room shack
     E               
With no running water
        G#m              
And the bathroom out back
E                                 E7
■ Is this your grave Jackie Brown ■ 


[Chorus]
                     E                                         G#m     
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man ■   took
G#m        
Himself out
A              B            E    
■ Is this your dream Jackie Brown
A                   E           
■ Going nowhere and nowhere fast
C#m7                               F#7       B   
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live
A                            E           
■ But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown
C#m                                B                
Just another lazy man who couldn't take what was his
A             B           E    
■ One helluva life Jackie Brown


[Outro]
A B                  E    
■ Forevermore Jackie Brown
A          B           E    
■ Amen and amen Jackie Brown
