[Em] [A]
[Dm] Janie's down, can't get off the ground Too low to fall, she can't come up at [A]
all
Hey, [A] Janie, it's just [Dm] an accident [Em] Fatal mistake on the [Dm] day after Lent
[Em] And her [C] parents always say, we don't [A] need you today And we [D] expect just the same
She's got [Dm] a boozy feeling in her heart And [C] it's making her so
[Em]
rough
[A] [A]
[Dm] Poor Janie [Em]
Well, [Dm] her mother plays on the [Em] golf course every [Dm] day
And her daddy, he sits at [Em] home and plays with the [A] maid
They found the perfect [Dm] dad [Em] Stayed together for [Dm] the sake of the [Em] child
You know [C] divorce don't fit, they're too [A] young to split Think they're [D] martyrs, but they're killing the kid
She's [Dm] got a boozy feeling in her heart And [C] it's making her so
[Em]
rough
[A] [A]
[Dm] Poor Janie [Em]
Well, [Dm] they put her [Am] down, they knock [Em] it if she's [Dm] ground
[Dm] Next moment, grab a purse and [Em] take her out on the [A] town
It's either [Dm] a hit or a miss in [Em] the fight A slap a day and a kiss at night
You know their [C] hatin' sets them free And lovin' [A] only wants to see [D] Janie takin' sides
She's got a boozy [Dm] feeling in her heart What [C] can I do but sigh, [Em]
