Miss Jeanne-Marie by JP Harris
Miss Jeanne-Marie
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
From the album "Sometimes dogs bark at nothing". The song is pretty
straightforward with the same set
of chords repeating itself on and on. The only thing to look out for is a single
2/4 bar between the last
line of the verse and the chorus.
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
How some sunny southern woman
G D
Ever wound up in the northwoods
G D
Falling for some well-meant no-good boy
A
I think we'll never know
D
She wasn't much of a gambler
G D
But took kindly to this rambler
G D
Rolled the dice and gave a heart away
A D
That he just couldn't hold
[Verse 2]
D
And he was young and unrepentant
G D
Of a life apart that he lived
G D
Of the shadows he would run to
A
When the honky tonk shut down
D
With no chance it'd last forever
G D
She held fast against the weather
G D
Through his storms until her heart was broke
A D
Scattered on the ground
[Chorus]
D
Oh, but Miss Jeanne-Marie
G D
I met you at the wrong time
G D
With my days turned dark by wild nights
A
And this heart could not be tamed
D
Oh but don't get me wrong
G D
You were my fondest lover
G D
If I could live this life all over
A D
Girl, I'd surely change your name
[Verse 3]
D
There's time you count by heartbeats
G D
Count by rhythm and guitar leads
G D
Count the lovers like the fall leaves
A
Turnin' red and on to gold
D
The sound of faltered footsteps
G D
Falling gently at your doorstep
G D
Drinkin' bittersweet the heartbreak
A D
Fearin' that we were growin' old
[Chorus]
D
Oh, but Miss Jeanne-Marie
G D
I met you at the wrong time
G D
With my days turned dark by wild nights
A
And this heart could not be tamed
D
Oh but don't get me wrong
G D
You were my fondest lover
G D
If I could live this life all over
A D
Girl, I'd surely change your name
