Jeannie Needs A Shooter Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

E A B

EI was born down by the rAiver where the dirty water flEows

 And the cold wind cut tAhrough me; it cut right through my cloEthes

 And the anger and the yAearning, like fever in my veEins

ESet the fire Aburning E

She came down from Knightstown with her hands hard from the line

From the first time I laid eyes on her I know that she`d be mine

Her father was a lawman--he swore he`d shoot me dead

`Cause he knew I wanted Jeannie and I`d haver her like I said

Chorus

EJeannie needs a sBhooter, sAhooter like mEe

EJeannie needs a sBhooter

EJeannie needs a sBhooter, sAhooter on her sEide

E B Intro

Jeannie needs a shooter

We met down by the river on the final day in May

And when I leaned down to kiss her, she did not turn away

I drew out all my money and together we did vow

To meet that very evening, and get away somehow

Chorus

The night was cold and rainy down by the borderline

I was riding hard to meet her when a shot rang out behind

As I lay there in the darkness with a pistol by my side

Jeannie and her father rode off into the night

Jeannie needs a shooter
