Song: Jackie Brown Tab
C/G
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live on the
Em
poor side of town
C/G
Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown?
This pretty little girl in worn out clothes that have
Em
been hand-me-down
C/G
Is this your wife, Jackie Brown?
Sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells, so you
Em
don't see her frown
F G C/G
Is this your family Jackie Brown?
F C/G
Dream of vacationing in a mountain stream
Am G
and giving the world more than it gave you
F C/G
What ugly truths freedom brings
Am G
and it hasn't been very kind to you
F G C/G
Is this your family, Jackie Brown?
C/G
Is this your meal, Jackie Brown?
Barely enough, I've seen people throw more
Em
than this out
C/G
Is this your home, Jackie Brown?
This three room shack, with no running water
Em
and the bathroom out back
C/G
Is this your grave, Jackie Brown?
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man
Em
took himself out
F G C/G
Is this your dream, Jackie Brown?
F C/G
Going nowhere, and nowhere fast
Am G
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live
F C/G
But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown
Am G
Just another lazy man who could take what was his
F G C/G
One hell of a life, Jackie Brown
F G C/G
Forever more, Jackie Brown
F G C/G
Well amen-n-amen, Jackie Brown
