Jeannie Needs A Shooter 

Intro: E  A B

E 			A			     E 	
I was born down by the river where the dirty water flows
		       A  				     E	
And the cold wind cut through me; it cut right through my clothes
		       A			   E 	
And the anger and the yearning, like fever in my veins
E            A       E
Set the fire burning 

She came down from Knightstown with her hands hard from the line
Her father was a lawman--he swore he`d shoot me dead
`Cause he knew I wanted Jeannie and I`d haver her like I said

Chorus:
E	 	 B        A            E
Jeannie needs a shooter, shooter like me
E	 	 B        
Jeannie needs a shooter
E	 	 B        A              E
Jeannie needs a shooter, shooter on her side
E	 	 B        Intro
Jeannie needs a shooter

We met down by the river on the final day in May
And when I leaned down to kiss her, she did not turn away
I drew out all my money and together we did vow
To meet that very evening, and get away somehow

Chorus

The night was cold and rainy down by the borderline
I was riding hard to meet her when a shot rang out behind
As I lay there in the darkness with a pistol by my side
Jeannie and her father rode off into the night
