Released on February 9th 2004, "Jacqueline" is the opening track from Franz
Ferdinand's debut homonym album. The song's intro goes in crescendo to
reach bright and rhythmic verses. The harmonies walk around 3 chords, making
it a very easy song.

CmJacqueline was seventeen
Working on a desk whenAb Ivor peered above a sBbpectacle
Forgot that he had wrecked a girl
Cm Sometimes these Abeyes forget the face they're Bbpeering from
When the face they peer upon
G Well, you know that face as CmI do
And how in the reAbturn of the gaze
She can reBbturn you the face
That you are sCmtaring from
