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)

  La la la la la la

  La la la la la la

  La la la la la la

Outro

  Sweet Jane Sweet Jane

  Sweet Jane Sweet Jane

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.
