D  A  Bm G A    D  A  Bm G A 
D  A  Bm G A    D  A  Bm G A 

D    A      G             Bm A D   D    A        G    Bm A D 
Standing on the corner,           suitcase in my hand
                     D         A     G       Bm A D      
Jack is in his coat, and Jane is in her vest,       
           D            A       G    Bm A D 
and me I'm in a rock'n'roll band      Hah!
     D     A        G       Bm A D     
Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
       D    A           G            Bm A D 
Y'know,   those were different times!
D    A            G                    Bm A D 
Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse
                   D           A         G     Bm A D            
And those ladies, they rolled their eyes

Chorus

D      G         D          G          D         G
Sweet Jane!  Whoa!  Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a!  Sweet Jane!


D                          A     G             Bm A D             
I'll tell you something    Jack, he is a banker
D      A   G             Bm A D  
And Jane,    she is a clerk
D            A             G        Bm A D            
And both of them save their  monies,      ha
D           A                G           Bm A D           
And when, when they come home  from work
D            A            G      Bm A D  
Ooooh, sittin' down by the fire, oh!
D         A    G      Bm A D                                
The radio does  play   the classical music there, Jim
D       A        G                 Bm A D       
"The March of the   Wooden Soldiers" all you protest kids
D        A          G     Bm A D            
You can hear Jack say,    get ready, ah


Chorus

D      G         D          G          D         G
Sweet Jane!  Whoa!  Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a!  Sweet Jane!

    D        A    G           Bm   A   D          
Some people,  they like to go out dancing
D               A               G      Bm A D 
And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now!  
      D                  A       G       Bm A D       
And there's even some evil mothers
                      D      A    G            Bm A D       
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
           D     A    G           Bm A D    
Y'know that, women, never really faint
                 D        A       G           Bm A D 
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!  
  D              A          G                Bm A D           
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!
           D    A   G          Bm A D 
And that, life is just to die!


Bridge

D                                 G     Bm A D 
And, everyone who ever had a heart
D                                 G     Bm A D 
They wouldn't turn around and break it
D                                G     Bm A D 
And anyone who ever played a part 
D                                    G     Bm A D 
Oh they wouldn't turn around and hate it!


Chorus

D      G         D          G          D         G
Sweet Jane!  Whoa!  Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a!  Sweet Jane!

E          B
La la la  la la la
D          A
La la la  la la la
