Capo: 2

Drop D Tuning Capo on 2 The G chord that he plays looks like this: DADGBE and the Em chord looks like this: DADGBE 550030 222000 Of course you can just play in regular tuning and keep the chords in their regular form, but this is how he plays it live. Also, in live versions, at the last Bm of every chorus, he does a pull off and a hammer on on the B string. He doesn't do it in the album version, but I think it sounds cool anyways. Listen to a live version to find the timing. Intro: D Verse:

^DJayton had a job for seven bucks an hour  At the fillin' station by the water tower   A Just checkin' oil and fixin' flats  T^Ghe kind of kid most folks just look past^D

^DJill was the local preacher's kid gone wild  Most the time her daddy couldn't stand his own child  H^Ae'd quote the scripture with an angry shout  And l^Gist her all the reasons she would never turn ou^Dt 

Chorus:

She was dr^Gunk one night on the f^Dourth of July  P^Aarked in a pasture with an ^Bmout-of-town guy  ^GHe got mad when sh^De said no  And he t^Emore her Sunday dr^Gess  She was w^Ganderin' alone on a c^Dounty road  When the l^Aights came over the h^Bmill  Th^Gat was the moment when J^Aayton met J^Dill

Verse:

H^De said hey, do you need a ride home  She said go away, leave me alone  But h^Ae noticed the bruise and the frightened tears  Said there ^Gain't no way in Hell I'm leavin' you out h^Dere

It was r^Dainin' a little and fixin' to storm  And his mustang jacket looked dry and warm So she le^At him wrap it 'round her and she climbed inside  Sa^Gyin' OK I guess thanks for the ride^D

Chorus:

At an ^Gall-night diner they w^Daited out the storm  ^AEnded up talking right ^Bmup 'til dawn  B^Gy the time he dropped her off s^Dafe at home  Neither^Em one felt so al^Gone Tw^Go lost souls f^Dound a connection that's bl^Aessin' both of them s^Bmtill  ^GOn that night when J^Aayton met J^Dill

G D A Bm G D Em G Chorus:

And w^Ghat Jayton never told her ab^Dout that night   A Bm Is how he'd taken his dad's old 45  He'd been dri^Gvin' 'round thinkin' how^D no one would miss him If h^Eme just ended it ^Gall  ^GHe couldn't see past h^Dis own pain  'Til he s^Aaw a pretty girl walkin' ^Bmin the rain  Th^Gank God he made it over that hill   G A D That was the moment when Jayton met Jill
