C/G 
Is this your life, Jackie Brown? (Figure #2)    
                                             Em             (Figure #3) 
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town  

C/G 
Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown? (Figure #2)  
                                                           Em           (Figure #3) 
This pretty little girl in worn out clothes that have been hand-me-down  
C/G 
Is this your wife, Jackie Brown? (Figure #1)  
                                            Em 
Sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells, so you don't see her frown  
F             G            C/G 
Is this your family Jackie Brown?  

(Figure #1) 

F                         C/G 
Dream of vacationing in a mountain stream  
Am                                     G 
And giving the world more than it gave you    
F                   C/G 
What ugly truths freedom brings  
Am                              G 
And it hasn't been very kind to you    
F             G         C/G 
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?  

Violin/Guitar "Solo" 


C/G                              (Figure #3) 
Is this your meal, Jackie Brown?  
                                           Em(Figure #4) 
Barely enough, I've seen people throw more than this out  

C/G 
Is this your home, Jackie Brown?  
                                              Em(Figure #3) 
This three room shack, with no running water and a bathroom out back  

C/G 
Is this your grave, Jackie Brown?  
                                                              Em 
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took himself out  
F              G          C/G 
Is this your dream, Jackie Brown?  


F                  C/G 
Going nowhere and nowhere fast  
Am                                           G 
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live  
F                            C/G 
But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown?  
Am                                 G 
Just another lazy man who couldn't take what was his  
F              G           C/G 
One hell of a life, Jackie Brown      
F       G            C/G 
Forever more, Jackie Brown      
F      G            C/G   
Well, amen amen, Jackie Brown
