Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Simple song but very sweet. You can get away with mostly strumming on 1 and 3 for the
verses and then all four beats for the chorus and then just find some fills for the gaps.
Have fun!
[VERSE 1]
C F
Janie was my first love
G F
we shared the pains of school
C F Dm7
she offered me a balance for awhile
C F
and she gave me innocence
G F
I seemed like less a fool
C F Dm7
she always had a line to make me smile
F
but we separated early
G Am
not an easy thing too do
F G C
sometime seem tomorrow'd never come
F
but we couldn't keep together
G Am
for all the times we tried
F Em
we had a sad reunion tonight
[CHORUS]
F C
Oh how we laughed together
F C
trapped in the grapes of wrath together
F C
yes and we loved each other
F F F-C
Me and Baby Jane
F C
but now she's gone forever
F C
Lord help me stay together
Dm C
see her vacant eyes and a needle in a vein
F C
Oh baby, baby, Baby Jane
[VERSE 1]
C F
I see the purple mountains
G F
I'm lost and in between
C F Dm7
a place that I know well and in a bad dream
C F G F
Others stand beside me too late to try and find
C F Dm7
excuses in the face of being blind
F G Am
but now she is awaiting for the feeling of the cold
F C
to free her from the nightmare of old
F G Am
she was a part of me silently alone
F Em
and too far down to draw the line
[CHORUS]
F C
Oh how we laughed together
F C
trapped in the grapes of wrath together
F C
yes and we loved each other
F Dm7
Me and Baby Jane
F C
but now she's gone forever
F C
Lord help me stay together
F C
see her vacant eyes and a needle in a vein
F C
Oh baby, baby, Baby Jane
