Jacob And Two Women

Tom: C
C

[Verse 1]
C Fadd9
Jacob he loved Rachel
G/B E7
And Rachel she loved him
Fadd9 C/E Dm Gsus4
And Leah was just there for dramatic effect
C Fadd9
Well it's right there in the Bible
E7 Am
So it must not be a sin
F C/E Gsus4 G
But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trick

[Chorus]
Fadd9 C/E
And her sky is just a petal
Dm C
Pressed in a book of a memory
Fadd9 C/E Gsus4 G
Of the time he thought he loved her and they kissed
Fadd9 C/E
And her friends say, "He's a devil"
Dm C/E Dm
But she says, "No, he is a dream"
F G Gsus4 Fadd9 C
This is the world as best as I can remember it
Am G/B Fadd9
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

[Verse 2]
C Fadd9
Now Jacob got two women
G/B E7
And a whole house full of kids
Fadd9 C/E Dm Gsus2 G
And he schemed his way back to the promised land
C Fadd9
And he finds it's one thing to win 'em
E7 Am
It's another to keep 'em content
F C/E Gsus4 G
When he knows that he is only just one man

[Chorus]
Fadd9 C/E
And his sky's an empty bottle
Dm C
And when he's drunk the ocean dry
Fadd9 C/E Gsus4 G
He sails off three sheets to some reckless wind
Fadd9 C/E
And his friends say, "Ain't it awful"
Dm C/E Dm
And he says, "No, I think it's fine"
F G Gsus4 Fadd9 C
And this is the world as best as I can remember it
Am G/B Fadd9
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

[Bridge]
A#maj7 Fadd9
Now Rachel's weeping for the children
Em
That she thought she could not bear
F D7/F# G
And she bears a sorrow that she cannot hide
A#maj7 Fadd9
She wishes she was with them
Em
But she looks and they're not there
Dm C Gsus4 G
Seems love comes for just a moment and then it passes on by

[Chorus]
Fadd9 C/E
And her sky is just a bandit
Dm C
Swinging at the end of a hangman's noose
Fadd9 C/E Gsus4 G
'Cause he stole the moon and must be made to pay for it
Fadd9 C/E
And her friends say, "My, that's tragic"
Dm C/E Dm
She says, "Especially for the moon"
F G Gsus4 Fadd9 C
This is the world as best as I can remember it
Dm G Gsus4 Fadd9 C
This is the world as best as I can remember it
Dm G Fadd9 C
This is the world as best as I can remember it
