The Ballad Of Jamie Bee(Chords)

	        
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
