Biography:
Cowboy Junkies are a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name

"Sweet Jane"
Lou Reed
(this transcription based off of the Cowboy Junkies' cover)
verse 1:
(play progression with beat dum dum dum-dum)
D A G G G A D D
Anyone who's ever had a heart
D A G G G A D D
Wouldn't turn around and break it
D A G G G A D D
Anyone who's ever played a part
D A G G G A D D
Wouldn't turn around and break it
D A G G G A D D
Sweet Jane
D A G G G A D D
Sweet Jane
D A G G G A D D
Ah, sweet sweet Jane
verse 2 & 3 are the identical musically, but with the following words:
verse 2:
Waited for Jimmy down in the alley
Waited for him to come back home
Waited down on the corner
Thinking of ways to get back home
Sweet Jane...etc
verse 3:
Anyone who's ever had a dream...
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone's who's ever been lonely
Anyone who's ever split apart
Sweet Jane...etc
interlude:
D | DD | DD | DDDDDDDD |
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
(Strum up and down)
(let chords ring)
D Db G A A
Heavenly blue-eyed roses Seem to whisper to me... When you smile
D Db G A A

D A C G
La la la la la la la... La la la la la la la
D A C G
La la la la la la la... La la la la la la la
(with dum dum dum-dum beat)
D A G G G A D D
Sweet Jane
D A G G G A D D
Sweet Jane
I play this clean-tone on my electric, with lots of reverb. All the chords
are barre chords.
I couldn't figure out a nice way of writing the rhythm, so I didn't. The
verson above is one worked out by me and my vocalist, and i am not too
familiar with either the CJ or the VU versions, but this is what we do. I
humbly offer it for the acoustic guitar mailing list.
