BETWEEN JENNINGS AND JONES BY JAMEY JOHNSON
(it is a little tricky at first if you're not used to three beats in a measure rather
four)... I like the strum pattern DDD or DDDU (but keep the same rhythm with your
seems right to me though and a fun song to play along with.
Verse:
[D]I left montgomery on n[G]orth 6[D]5
[D]I was restless and ready to give [E]nashville a [A]try
I [G]rolled into town with a [D]sound of my [G]own
Som[D]ewhere between je[A7]nnings and j[D]ones
(repeat chords from above)
Well, the day job i landed felt just like a jail
I couldn't seem to break out with that hammer and nails
And i spent all my nights in some old honky-tonk
Somewhere between jennings and jones
Chorus:
Hanging [C]out in the bars with the [G]drunks and the stars i found a [F]few good ole
boys just like[C] me
Started [C]burning our candles both e[G]nds and the middle a bunch of [F]roaring
outlaws at high [A]speed
And they [D]said that the end of that [G]road i was [D]on
Some[D]where between [A7]jennings and [D]jones
(repeat chords from the verse)
Well, some record executives found me on night
I was singing half-lit, they said it sounded just right (right)
They put my name on an album but they shelved all my songs
Said i was somewhere between jennings and jones
(repeat chords from the chorus)
Hanging out in the bars with the drunks and the stars
And a few good ole boys just like me
Started burning our candles both ends and the middle a bunch of roaring outlaws at high speed
And they said that the end of that road i was on
Somewhere between jennings and jones
Now to fi[D]nd me in a record s[G]tore won't take you l[D]ong
I'm right [D]there between je[A7]nnings and j[D]ones
