[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
E                               
■ Is this your life Jackie Brown
                                          Abm              
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
          Abm             
That have been handme down
E                               
■ Is this your wife Jackie Brown
                                        Abm                       
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
Dbm7                              B       
And giving the world more than it gave you
A                  E             
■ What ugly truths freedom brings
Dbm7                         B     
And it hasn't been very kind to you


[Inst]
A              B             E    
■ Is this your family Jackie Brown


[Solo]
Abm A B E

[Verse]
                         E    
Is this your meal Jackie Brown
                                          Abm          
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
        Abm              
And the bathroom out back
E                                
■ Is this your grave Jackie Brown
                                                               Abm
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man ■  


[Chorus]
                 A
Took himself out ■
             B           E    
Is this your life Jackie Brown
A               E               
■ Going nowhere and nowhere fast
Dbm7                                    B        
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live
A                      E                 
■ But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown
Dbm7                               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           
Well amen and amen Jackie Brown
