Miss Jeanne-Marie Chords

[Intro]
D
 
[Verse 1]
         D
How some sunny southern woman
     G               D
Ever wound up in the northwoods
        G                   D
Falling for some well-meant no-good boy
  A
I think we'll never know
    D
She wasn't much of a gambler
         G              D
But took kindly to this rambler
           G               D
Rolled the dice and gave a heart away
     A                D
That he just couldn't hold
 
 
[Verse 2]
           D
And he was young and unrepentant
     G               D
Of a life apart that he lived
       G                D
Of the shadows he would run to
         A
When the honky tonk shut down
        D
With no chance it'd last forever
         G                D
She held fast against the weather
            G                D
Through his storms until her heart was broke
A                D
Scattered on the ground
 
 
[Chorus]
       D
Oh, but Miss Jeanne-Marie
  G              D
I met you at the wrong time
        G                   D
With my days turned dark by wild nights
         A
And this heart could not be tamed
      D
Oh but don't get me wrong
    G               D
You were my fondest lover
           G                 D
If I could live this life all over
           A                 D
Girl, I'd surely change your name
 
 
[Verse 3]
        D
There's time you count by heartbeats
         G             D
Count by rhythm and guitar leads
          G               D
Count the lovers like the fall leaves
        A
Turnin' red and on to gold
    D
The sound of faltered footsteps
        G              D
Falling gently at your doorstep
         G               D
Drinkin' bittersweet the heartbreak
             A               D
Fearin' that we were growin' old
 
 
[Chorus]
       D
Oh, but Miss Jeanne-Marie
  G              D
I met you at the wrong time
        G                   D
With my days turned dark by wild nights
         A
And this heart could not be tamed
      D
Oh but don't get me wrong
    G               D
You were my fondest lover
           G                 D
If I could live this life all over
           A                 D
Girl, I'd surely change your name
