Cotton Jenny - Gordon Lightfoot theme A (x0222x) A6sus4 (x0423x) A7sus2 (x0545x) A6sus4 (x0423x) 4x

There's a ^Ahouse on a hill, ^A7 by a ^Dworn down weathered old ^Amill In the vally be^Elow where the river winds, there's no such ^E7thing as bad ^Atimes And a ^Asoft, southern flame, ^A7 oh ^DCotton Jenny's her ^Aname She wakes me ^Eup when the sun goes down, and the wheel of ^E7love goes ^Around

(bridge)

Wheels of ^A7love go ^Dround, love go ^Arou-ou-ou-^A7ound Love go ^B7round, a joyful ^Esou-ou-ou-^E7ound

(chorus)

I ain't ^Agot a penny for ^DCotton Jenny to ^Espend, but then the wheels go ^Around theme 2x

When the new day begins, I go down to the cotton gin And I make my time worthwhile to them, then I climb back up again And she waits by the door, oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down, and the wheel of love goes round bridge, chorus theme 2x In the hot, sickly South, when they say "well shut my mouth" I can never be free from the cotton grind, but I know I got what's mine With a soft southern flame, oh Cotton Jenny's her name She wakes me up when the sun goes down, and the wheel of love goes round bridge, chorus theme chords on vocal improvisation (fade-out)
