John Gorka - The Ballad of Jamie Bee
INTRO: C/G G6 Dm C/G G6 F C/G
G6 Dm C/G
Jamie ran aground out in Ohio
G6 F C/G
Wife left for the great unknown
G6 Dm C/G
He says he's gonna take to the high road
F C/G
And she will find a place alone
G6 Dm C/G
He said he just could not make her happy
G6 F C/G
That he never tried so hard before
G6 Dm C/G
He'd wake up first and make the coffee
F
Now the mornings were like war
CHORUS:
Am G
There's a barroom for every way the wind blows
Am F
And a harness for every mother's son
Am G
You pull your own weight or else it pulls you
Am C/G
And it gets harder the longer that you run
G6 Dm C/G
Jamie's from the last great breed of roadmen
G6 F C/G
Woody, Jack and Kerouac and such
G6 Dm C/G
But here was a woman he would die for
F C/G
Beauty no road could ever touch
G6 Dm C/G
The town was nearly famous for the glassworks
G6 F C/G
The factory where they made hoods for the Klan
G6 Dm C/G
There's a football hall-of-famer in the phonebook
F
There's only trouble for an empty man
CHORUS:
Am G
'Cause there's a barroom for every way the wind blows
Am F
And temptation in every substance known
Am G
You pull your own weight or else it pulls you
Am C/G Dm C/G F
It gets harder the older that you've grown
C/G G6 Dm C/G
At home in the Harley-ridden pool-halls
G6 F C/G
Guess it's best they never had those kids
G6 Dm C/G
Closer to the outlaws than the in-laws
G6 F
'Said Jamie's heart don't break, but I know it did
Am G6 F
They said Jamie's heart don't break, but I know it did
C/G G6 Dm C/G
He will find some refuge in his music
G6 F C/G
And a long shot that they will reconcile
G6 Dm C/G
The meantime is a mean time and he knows it
F
'Til the day he's back up on the pile
CHORUS:
Am G
Now there's headlights heading from Ohio
Am F
And there's teardrops saltier than rain
Am G
There's taillights to tell a tale still tender
Am C/G
And a cold wind blowing through the night
Am C/G
There's a cold wind blowing through tonight
