EB7A
Crow Janie, Crow Janie, Crow Jane, don't you hold your head high,
EB7E
Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.
B7EB7E
You got to lay down and, you got to die, you got to
EB7A
And I want to buy me a pistol, wolf me forty rounds of ball,
EB7E
Shoot Crow Jane just to see her fall.
B7EB7E
She got to fall, she got to, she got to fall, she got to
Chorus:
EB7A
You know I begged Crow Jane, not to hold her head too high,
EB7E
Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.
B7EB7E
You got to lay down, and, you got to die, you got to
EB7A
And I dug her a grave, with a silver spade,
EB7E
Ain't nobody going to take my Crow Jane's place.
B7EB7E
no you can't take her, no you can't take her
(Repeat Chorus)
EB7A
You know I let her down, with a golden chain,
EB7E
And every link I would call my Crow Jane's name.
B7EB7E
Crow Jane, Crow, Crow Jane, Crow
EB7A
You know I never missin' my water, til my well ran dry,
EB7E
Didn't miss Crow jane until the day she died.
B7EB7E
til the day, she, til the day, she
(Repeat Chorus)
EB7A
You know I dug her grave, eight feet in the ground,
EB7E
Didn't feel sorry til they let her down.
B7EB7E
they had to, let her down, they had, to let her down,
