E B7 A
Crow Janie, Crow Janie, Crow Jane, don't you hold your head high,
E B7 E
Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.
B7 E B7 E
You got to lay down and, you got to die, you got to
E B7 A
And I want to buy me a pistol, wolf me forty rounds of ball,

Shoot Crow Jane just to see her fall.

She got to fall, she got to, she got to fall, she got to

You know I begged Crow Jane, not to hold her head too high,
E B7 E
Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.
B7 E B7 E
You got to lay down, and, you got to die, you got to
E B7 A
And I dug her a grave, with a silver spade,
E B7 E
Ain't nobody going to take my Crow Jane's place.
B7 E B7 E
no you can't take her, no you can't take her

You know I let her down, with a golden chain,

And every link I would call my Crow Jane's name.

til the day, she, til the day, she

You know I dug her grave, eight feet in the ground,
E B7 E
Didn't feel sorry til they let her down.
B7 E B7 E
they had to, let her down, they had, to let her down,
(Repeat Chorus)
