C#
Intro: Ebm
(x2)
Ebm
Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy
C#
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound
B
Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty
C#
The kind that a rich man can't turn down
Ebm
She caught the eye of an oil man dancing
C#
One summer night in a dime store dress
B
She had the looks, he had the mansion
C#
And you can figure out the rest
Ebm
He was all roses, dripping in diamonds, sipping on champagne
Ebm C#
She was all uptown, wearing that white gown, taking his last name
[Refrão]
B
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
F# Ebm
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
C# B
Fold your hands and close your eyes
F#
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Ebm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
C# Ebm
Yeah, they're ringing
[Próxima Parte]
Ebm
Jenny was hosting Junior League parties
C#
And having dinner at the country club
B
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie
C#
But Ken was always getting way too drunk
Ebm
Saturday night, after a few too many
C#
He came home ready to fight
B
And all his money could never save Jenny
C#
From the devil living in his eyes
Ebm
It was all bruises, covered in makeup, dark sunglasses
Ebm C#
And that next morning, sitting in the back pew, praying with the baptist
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Ebm
Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey
C#
No law man was ever gonna find
B
And how he died is still a mystery
C#
But he hit a woman for the very last time
B
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
F# Ebm
Standing there in a black dress singing, singing
C# B
Fold your hands and close your eyes
F#
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Ebm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
C# Eb
Yeah, they're ringing
