#
#"Sweet Jane"
#Lou Reed
#(this transcription based off of the Cowboy Junkies' cover)
#
#verse 1:
#(play progression with beat dum dum dum-dum)
[D]Anyone who's [A]ever had a [G]he[G]art[G][A][D][D]
[D]Wouldn't turn[A] around and br[G]ea[G]k it[G][A][D][D]
[D]Anyone who's [A]ever played a [G]pa[G]rt[G][A][D][D]
[D]Wouldn't turn[A] around and[G] b[G]reak it[G][A][D][D]
[D]Sweet [A]Jane[G][G][G][A][D][D]
[D]Sweet [A]Jane[G][G][G][A][D][D]
[D]Ah, [A]sweet sweet[G] J[G]ane[G][A][D][D]
verse 2 & 3 are the identical musically, but with the following words:
verse 2:
Waited for Jimmy down in the alley
Waited for him to come back home
Waited down on the corner
Thinking of ways to get back home
Sweet Jane...etc
verse 3:
Anyone who's ever had a dream...
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone's who's ever been lonely
Anyone who's ever split apart
Sweet Jane...etc
interlude:
D | DD | DD | DDDDDDDD |

(Strum up and down)
(let chords ring)
[D]Heavenly [Db]blue-eyed roses [G]Seem to whisper to [A]me... [A]When you smile
[D]Heavenly [Db]blue-eyed roses [G]Seem to whisper to [A]me... [A]When you smile...
[D]La la la la [A]la la la... [C]La la la la [G]la la la
[D]La la la la [A]la la la... [C]La la la la [G]la la la
(with dum dum dum-dum beat)
[D]Sweet [A]Jane[G][G][G][A][D][D]
[D]Sweet [A]Jane[G][G][G][A][D][D]
I play this clean-tone on my electric, with lots of reverb. All the chords
are barre chords.
I couldn't figure out a nice way of writing the rhythm, so I didn't. The
verson above is one worked out by me and my vocalist, and i am not too
familiar with either the CJ or the VU versions, but this is what we do. I
humbly offer it for the acoustic guitar mailing list.
