| Am   G  | F  | 2x


Verse 1
        Am         G     F
She was eighteen, had a California dream
         Am                G      F
Gettin' out was just a matter of time
    Am                G   F
He just turned twenty,   makin' decent money
         Am             G    F
Drivin' nails into railroad ties
 Am            G   F                         Am                G     F
Boy meets girl,   girl's plans changed that summer into a hell of a fall
 Am            G   F                           Am          G     F
No, they didn't   have it all together, but together they had it all
            Am    G   F     Am     G   F
They had it all


Verse 2
      Am                G     F
Love did what it does, wasn't even six months
            Am                  G        F
Ain't ever leavin', shinin' on her left hand
          Am                 G   F
But that worse or for better, forever together
  Am                G   F
Started runnin' out of sand


Pre-Chorus
        Am                 G      C
He was gone on the road, she was home all alone
      Am            G           F
That lonely took a toll on her heart
          Am               G      C
Came home early one night to surprise her
             Am             G      F
To find her lost in someone else's arms


Chorus
Am               G     F
 This is the story of Jack and Jill
            Am         G             F
How their whole world came tumblin' down
 Am                G    C
Heartbreak kills, Jill got on the pills
     Am               G          F
And Jack couldn't get off that crown
      Am                G    F
They found their peace somewhere underneath
     Am           G       F
The roots of a sycamore tree
       Am          G   C
Yeah, Jack and Jill   went downhill
          Am            G     F
And ended up on one in Tennessee
          Am     G   F     Am     G   F
In Tennessee


Verse 3
Am                G      F                       Am              G    F
Everybody knows that he couldn't let go of that bottle or what she'd done
    Am                 G     F
He took his last sip, yeah, he finally quit
      Am                G   F
That mornin' he didn't wake up
  Am               G         F
She took the news with the whites and the blues
        Am                      G   F
Didn't leave a note, there was no  need
          Am             G        F                       Am           G    F
The preacher they used when they said, "I do," is readin' out of Psalm 23,
 Am     G   F     Am     G   F
23


Chorus
Am               G     F
 This is the story of Jack and Jill
            Am         G             F
How their whole world came tumblin' down
 Am                G    C
Heartbreak kills, Jill got on the pills
     Am               G          F
And Jack couldn't get off that crown
      Am                G    F
They found their peace somewhere underneath
     Am           G       F
The roots of a sycamore tree
       Am          G   C
Yeah, Jack and Jill   went downhill
          Am            G     F
And ended up on one in Tennessee
          Am     G   F
In Tennessee,
          Am     G   F
In Tennessee
