Intro - | Am | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |


Am
Look what Jim Crow's done and gone
G
He Went and changed His name
Am
Don't know what He's going by these days
G
But He's still actin' the same

F C
You can call it what You want to
Am G
But it's still a minstrel show
F C
You can call it what You want to
G Am ..
But it's still Jim Crow

... | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |

Am
Jim's probably laying in this morning
G
Hummin' as He sleeps
Am
Feeling the glow of another Man's Woman
G
As She lies beneath His feet

F C
Enjoyin' the cool morning breeze
Am G
Smellin' flowers as He goes
F C
Looks like He's changed His ways
G Am ..
Ah, but He's still Big Jim Crow

... | Am | G | G | Am | Am | G | G |

| C | C | Am | G | C | C | G |

| Am | Am | Am | Am |

Am
Jim will spend the rest of the day
G
Playin' in some big hotel
Am
It's an old song with very bad rhymes
G
But He does it so well

F C
He'll make some new acquaintances
Am G
When He's out on His evening stroll
F C
It's amazing that after all this time
G
So many love
Am ..
Big Jim Crow

.. | Am | Am | Am |
Am | Am | Am | Am ..
