^C/G Is this your life, Jackie Brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live on the
^Em poor side of town
^C/G Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown?
This pretty little girl in worn out clothes that have
^Em been hand-me-down
^C/G Is this your wife, Jackie Brown?
Sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells, so you
^Em don't see her frown
^F Is this your ^G family Jackie ^C/G Brown?
^F Dream of vacationing in a ^C/G mountain stream
^Am and giving the world more than it gave ^G you
^F What ugly truths free ^C/G dom brings
^Am and it hasn't been very kind to ^G you
^F Is this your ^G family, Jacki ^C/G e Brown?
^C/G Is this your meal, Jackie Brown?
Barely enough, I've seen people throw more
^Em than this out
^C/G Is this your home, Jackie Brown?
This three room shack, with no running water
^Em and the bathroom out back
^C/G Is this your grave, Jackie Brown?
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man
^Em took himself out
^F Is this your ^G dream, Jackie ^C/G Brown?
^F Going nowhere, and ^C/G nowhere fast
^Am We shame ourselves to watch people like this ^G live
^F But who gives a damn about ^C/G Jackie Brown
^Am Just another lazy man who could ^G take what was his
^F One hell of a ^G life, Jackie ^C/G Brown
^F Forever ^G more, Jackie ^C/G Brown
^F Well am ^G en-n-amen, Ja ^C/G ckie Brown
