Cotton Jenny - Gordon Lightfoot
INTRO A (x0222x) A6sus4 (x0423x) A7sus2 (x0545x) A6sus4 (x0423x) x4
A A7 D A
There's a house on a hill, by a worn down weathered old mill
E E7 A
In the vally below where the river winds there's no such thing as bad times
A A7 D A
And a soft, southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name
E E7 A
She wakes me up when the sun goes down, and the wheel of love goes round
[Pre-chorus]
A7 D A A7
And the love go round, love go rou-ou-ou-ound
B7 E E7
Love go round, a joyful sou-ou-ou-ound
[Chorus]
A D E E7 A
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend, but then the wheels go round
A A6sus4 A7sus2 A6sus4 x2
[Verse]
A A7 D A
When the new day begins, I go down to the cotton gin
E E7 A
And I make my time worthwhile to them, then I climb back up again
A A7 D A
And she waits by the door, oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore
E E7 A
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down, and the wheel of love goes round
[Pre-chorus]
A7 D A A7
And the love go round, love go rou-ou-ou-ound
B7 E E7
Love go round, a joyful sou-ou-ou-ound
[Chorus]
A D E E7 A
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend, but then the wheels go round
A A6sus4 A7sus2 A6sus4 x2
[Verse]
A A7 D A
In the hot, sickly South, when they say "well shut my mouth"
E E7 A
I can never be free from the cotton grind, but I know I got what's mine
A A7 D A
With a soft southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name
E E7 A
She wakes me up when the sun goes down, and the wheel of love goes round
[Pre-chorus]
A7 D A A7
And the love go round, love go rou-ou-ou-ound
B7 E E7
Love go round, a joyful sou-ou-ou-ound
[Chorus]
A D E E7 A
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend, but then the wheels go round
wheels go round round and round
