Verse
C A#
She’s raising cattle, she’s raising bars
Am D7
She ain’t got time for the evening stars
C G C
She gets up at five every morning
C A#
She’s got a bucket in her hand
Am D7
Spilling poison on the neighbour’s land
C G C C7
Always brings a smile to that pretty face
[Chorus]
F Em Em7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
A7 D7 G G7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
F Em Em7
She’s gonna make you scream blue thunder
F F F C
That girl will surely put you down
[Verse 2]
C A#
In the village, into the church
Am D7
Calls a priest and from her curse
C G C
Hands him the money, walks away redeemed
C A#
They close their doors, they close the blinds
Am D7
As she makes her way to Clementine’s
C G C C7
We’re the only place that serves her here
[Chorus]
F Em Em7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
A7 D7 G G7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
F Em Em7
Somehow I cannot help but wonder
F F F C
When she is gonna put me down
C A# F Eb
Black Jolene, why so mean?
