Verse
G F
She’s raising cattle, she’s raising bars
Em A7
She ain’t got time for the evening stars
G D G
She gets up at five every morning
G F
She’s got a bucket in her hand
Em A7
Spilling poison on the neighbour’s land
G D G G7
Always brings a smile to that pretty face
[Chorus]
C Bm Bm7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
E7 A7 D D7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
C Bm Bm7
She’s gonna make you scream blue thunder
C C C G
That girl will surely put you down
[Verse 2]
G F
In the village, into the church
Em A7
Calls a priest and from her curse
G D G
Hands him the money, walks away redeemed
G F
They close their doors, they close the blinds
Em A7
As she makes her way to Clementine’s
G D G G7
We’re the only place that serves her here
[Chorus]
C Bm Bm7
She’s gonna put you six feet under
E7 A7 D D7
She’s gonna put you in the ground
C Bm Bm7
Somehow I cannot help but wonder
C C C G
When she is gonna put me down
G F C A#
Black Jolene, why so mean?
