C/G
Is this your life, Jackie Brown? (Figure #2)
Em (Figure #3)
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town

C/G
Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown? (Figure #2)
Em (Figure #3)
This pretty little girl in worn out clothes that have been hand-me-down
C/G
Is this your wife, Jackie Brown? (Figure #1)
Em
Sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells, so you don't see her frown
F G C/G
Is this your family Jackie Brown?

(Figure #1)

F C/G
Dream of vacationing in a mountain stream
Am G
And giving the world more than it gave you
F C/G
What ugly truths freedom brings
Am G
And it hasn't been very kind to you
F G C/G
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?

C/G (Figure #3)
Is this your meal, Jackie Brown?
Em(Figure #4)
Barely enough, I've seen people throw more than this out

C/G
Is this your home, Jackie Brown?
Em(Figure #3)
This three room shack, with no running water and a bathroom out back

C/G
Is this your grave, Jackie Brown?
Em
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took himself out
F G C/G
Is this your dream, Jackie Brown?


F C/G
Going nowhere and nowhere fast
Am G
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live
F C/G
But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown?
Am G
Just another lazy man who couldn't take what was his
F G C/G
One hell of a life, Jackie Brown
F G C/G
Forever more, Jackie Brown
F G C/G
Well, amen amen, Jackie Brown
