I've grabbed a lot of stuff from here without posting anything, so I thought
I'd post something that's on the most.wanted list at ftp.nevada...

Here are the chords to Jackie Brown by John Mellancamp. Also, there is one
recognizable little riff that appears throughout the song, which goes like
this:

e ---------------------------------------------
BB Piano Chord 
 ---------------------------------------------
GG Piano Chord 
 --------0-----------------------0------------
DD Piano Chord 
 ----0-2---2-0---0-2---------0-2---2-0---0----
AA Piano Chord 
 --3-----------3-----------3-----------3---3--
EE Piano Chord 
 ---------------------------------------------

C/G is C with G bass added: 3-3-2-0-1-0

(Also, I believe this is capo'd on the 4th fret)

JACKIE BROWN - John Mellencamp
------------------------------

C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Is this your life, Jackie Brown?

Poorly educated and forced to live on the
EmEm Piano Chord 

poor side of town
C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown?

This pretty little girl in worn out clothes that have
EmEm Piano Chord 

been hand-me-down
C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Is this your wife, Jackie Brown?

Sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells, so you
EmEm Piano Chord 

don't see her frown
FF Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
             C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Is this your family Jackie Brown?

FF Piano Chord 
                         C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Dream of vacationing in a mountain stream
AmAm Piano Chord 
                                     GG Piano Chord 

and giving the world more than it gave you
FF Piano Chord 
                    C/GC/G Piano Chord 

What ugly truths freedom brings
AmAm Piano Chord 
                              GG Piano Chord 

and it hasn't been very kind to you
FF Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
            C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Is this your family, Jackie Brown?

C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Is this your meal, Jackie Brown?

Barely enough, I've seen people throw more
EmEm Piano Chord 

than this out
C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Is this your home, Jackie Brown?

This three room shack, with no running water
EmEm Piano Chord 

and the bathroom out back
C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Is this your grave, Jackie Brown?

This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man
EmEm Piano Chord 

took himself out
FF Piano Chord 
            GG Piano Chord 
             C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Is this your dream, Jackie Brown?

FF Piano Chord 
                  C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Going nowhere, and nowhere fast
AmAm Piano Chord 
                                           GG Piano Chord 

We shame ourselves to watch people like this live
FF Piano Chord 
                          C/GC/G Piano Chord 

But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown
AmAm Piano Chord 
                              GG Piano Chord 

Just another lazy man who could take what was his
FF Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 
            C/GC/G Piano Chord 

One hell of a life, Jackie Brown
FF Piano Chord 
       GG Piano Chord 
            C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Forever more, Jackie Brown
FF Piano Chord 
      GG Piano Chord 
            C/GC/G Piano Chord 

Well amen-n-amen, Jackie Brown
