1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + This is a really simple tune, and not origionally one of my favorites on John Henry, but lately I've noticed how much fun it is to play. Intro Em F G Verse G Cadd9 G D Long before the screen door slammed, she was out of xenia G Cadd9 G D A stranger could have loved that town, but she had to leave Chorus Am D Am7 D I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love G Am7 I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this Fadd9 D cautionary tale G Am7 But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear Fadd9 D Til kitten's out of jail Verse It was like a TV show, the way she stole that car Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk Chorus I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear Til kitten's out of jail Bridge Em F C G Didn't want to be a slave Em F G just turned out that way (Organ solo:listen for the rythm) G Am7 Fadd9 D G Am7 Fadd9 D Chorus I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this cautionary tale But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear Til kitten's out of jail Outro G Am F D (Repeat this a couple times, then end on G) Guitar Solo (Listen for the rhythm) E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------3--3-----------3--5--3--3--5--7--8--8--8--7--10--7--------- B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------3--------0--1--3---------------------------------------------- G|-----------------------------------------------------0--2--4--4--4--5---------------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------2--3--2--3--2--3--5--4--4---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A|-----0--2-----0-0--2--3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E|--3--------3------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
