Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

(0:17)

Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand

Jack is in his coat, and Jane is in her vest,

and me I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah!

Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim

Y'know, those were different times!

Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse

And those ladies, they rolled their eyes

Chorus

Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

Verse 2

(1:07)

I'll tell you something Jack, he is a banker

And Jane, she is a clerk

And both of them save their monies, ha

And when, when they come home from work

Ooooh, sittin' down by the fire, oh!

The radio does play the classical music there, Jim

"The March of the Wooden Soldiers" all you protest kids

You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah

Chorus

Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

Verse 3

(1:57)

Some people, they like to go out dancing

And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now!

And there's even some evil mothers

Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt

Y'know that, women, never really faint

And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!

And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!

And that, life is just to die!

Bridge

(2:34)

And, everyone who ever had a heart

They wouldn't turn around and break it

And anyone who ever played a part

Oh they wouldn't turn around and hate it!

Chorus

Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!

(3:06)

Heavenly wine and roses

Seemed to whisper to her

when he smiled

Heavenly wine and roses

seemed to whisper to her

hey baby she smiled.

(3:33)

Outro

Chords Used (I used open for verse, and bar for “And everyone…” part)

OR OR OR

Chord placements on the words are approximate. Kind of hard to pinpoint. If worse

comes to worse, just play the chord patterns with the song (D A GG Bm A DD) and worry

about the words later. I put the approximate times that the chord is supposed to be

played for each verse and segment of the song. In the third verse, first line, there

are two A's played (listen closely). If you see a mistake, go ahead and correct it.

Overall, the chords should be right. This is a great song by VU (my 2nd favorite).

I spent a lot of time trying to get chords as close as possible. Enjoy it.
