verse 1 
                    G               F                  G 
A hound bays in the distant dark, a whippoorwill takes flight 
C           G            F       G           C 
Jane is on another lark, passing through the night 
                G               F                G 
Like a fox that flees her cage, just because she can 
C           G              F     G      C 
Like a lady come of age, a woman with a plan 

    F         C         G      C 
She comes and goes like summer rain 
   F       C    G       
As flighty as a whooping crane 
   F        C    G       C 
As restless as a weather vane 
    F         G         C 
Oh, wherefore art thou, Jane?

verse 2 
            G           F              G 
Going up or going down, going fast and far 
C            G                  F    G       C 
Up a hill or through a town, or to a distant star 
                          G                  F                 G 
She’ll cut the string and take her fling, or sit and watch the sky  
   C                G            F       G       C 
Or turn her hand to anything, or kiss it all goodbye 

    F         C        G          C 
She takes the ball and breaks the chain 
F        C       G       
Pours precaution down the drain  
F       C    G        C 
Bubbles over like champagne 
    F         G         C 
Oh, wherefore art thou, Jane?

verse 3 
               G                      F           G 
In the land of midnight peril, on the shore of anywhere 
     C                   G          F        G         C 
That dreams fly free and feral, oh, you will find Jane there 
                       G                   F              G 
You might not find the words that rhyme to make a perfect song 
    C               G              F          G     C 
But if you find the time sometime, Jane might sing along 

    F         C         G      C 
She comes and goes like summer rain 
   F       C    G       
As flighty as a whooping crane 
   F        C    G       C 
As restless as a weather vane 
    F         G         C 
Oh, wherefore art thou, Jane? 

      F      C    G       C 
She’s fickle as financial gain 
      F       C       G       
Sells trouble like an ad campaign 
    F         C        G         C 
She takes the risk and risks the pain 
    F         G         C 
Oh, wherefore art thou, Jane?

verse 4 
                   G                 F               G 
Another hound bays in the night, and someone wonders why 
C             G                 F        G         C 
Did a prowler come in sight, or did Jane just pass by? 
                  G             F            G 
Like a fox that’s free of cage, like a Peter Pan 
C           G              F     G      C 
Like a lady come of age, a woman with a plan 

    F         C        G          C 
She takes the ball and breaks the chain 
F        C       G       
Pours precaution down the drain  
F       C    G        C 
Bubbles over like champagne 
    F         G         C 
Oh, wherefore art thou, Jane? 

      F         C        G        C 
She’s sweet and good and true and sane 
F      C    G       
Simple as a daisy chain 
F       C           G       C 
Sweeter still while raising cane 
    F         G         C 
Oh, wherefore art thou, Jane?
