Church Bells

Intro: Ebm    C#   (x2)

Ebm
Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy
C#
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound
B
Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty
    C#
The kind that a rich man can't turn down
    Ebm
She caught the eye of an oil man dancing
C#
One summer night in a dime store dress
B
She had the looks, he had the mansion
C#
And you can figure out the rest

Ebm
He was all roses, dripping in diamonds, sipping on champagne
Ebm                                                           C#
She was all uptown, wearing that white gown, taking his last name

                     B
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
F#                        Ebm
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
C#                               B
Fold your hands and close your eyes
                          F#
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
                       Ebm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
C#                Ebm
Yeah, they're ringing


Ebm
Jenny was hosting Junior League parties
C#
And having dinner at the country club
B
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie
C#
But Ken was always getting way too drunk
Ebm
Saturday night, after a few too many
C#
He came home ready to fight
B
And all his money could never save Jenny
C#
From the devil living in his eyes

Ebm
It was all bruises, covered in makeup, dark sunglasses
Ebm                                                               C#
And that next morning, sitting in the back pew, praying with the baptist

                     B
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
F#                        Ebm
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
C#                               B
Fold your hands and close your eyes
                          F#
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
                       Ebm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
C#                B      Ebm   B    Ebm   B
Yeah, they're ringing


Ebm
Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey
C#
No law man was ever gonna find
B
And how he died is still a mystery
C#
But he hit a woman for the very last time

                     B
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
F#                        Ebm
Standing there in a black dress singing, singing
C#                               B
Fold your hands and close your eyes
                          F#
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
                       Ebm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
C#             Eb
Yeah, they're ringing
