(ver. 2)
Gordon Lightfoot
                    
Cotton Jenny Key G 
                       
Intro: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 
                        
Gd Ge Gf Ge Gd Ge Gf Ge 
G                         
There's a house on a hill 
     C                       G    
By a worn down weathered old mill 
                 D                         
In the valley be-low where the river winds 
                             G     
There's no such thing as bad times 
G                         
And a soft southern flame 
   C                  G    
Oh Cotton Jenny's her name 
                 D                         
And she wakes me up when the sun goes down 
                          G     
And the wheels of love go round 
       
Chorus 
G                 C     
Wheels of love go round 
        G              A     
Love go round, love go round 
              D     
What a joyful sound 
        G               C               D     
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend 
                       G     
But then the wheels go round 
                        
Gd Ge Gf Ge Gd Ge Gf Ge 
G                       
When the new day begins 
     C                  G   
I go down to the cotton gin 
              D                        
And I make my time worth while to them 
                       G    
Then I climb back up a-gain 
G                         
And she waits by the door 
   C                G    
Oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore 
                D                            
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down 
                          G     
And the wheels of love go round 
G                 C     
Wheels of love go round 
        G              A     
Love go round, love go round 
              D     
What a joyful sound 
        G               C               D     
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend 
                       G     
But then the wheels go round 
                        
Gd Ge Gf Ge Gd Ge Gf Ge

D 2 3 4 D 2 3 4 D 2 3 4 G 
G                 C     
Wheels of love go round 
        G              A     
Love go round, love go round 
              D     
What a joyful sound 
        G               C               D     
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend 
                       G     
But then the wheels go round 
                        
Gd Ge Gf Ge Gd Ge Gf Ge 
G                        
In the hot, sickly south 
          C                 G     
When they say we'll shut my mouth 
               D                          
I can never be free from the cotton grind 
                        G    
But I know I got what's mine 
G                           
She's a soft southern flame 
   C                  G    
Oh Cotton Jenny's her name 
             D                         
She wakes me up when the sun goes down 
                          G     
And the wheels of love go round 
G                 C     
Wheels of love go round 
        G              A     
Love go round, love go round 
              D     
What a joyful sound 
        G               C               D     
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend 
                       G     
But then the wheels go round
