'Cotton Jenny' by Gordon Lightfoot - Guitar Tutorial
Gtp chords: Cotton Jenny
Song lyrics:
Intro: (G) (C) (G7) (C)
(G)
There's a house on a hill
(C) (G)
By a worn down weathered old mill
(D)
In the valley below where the river winds
(G)
There's no such thing as bad times
And 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
(C)
Wheels of love go 'round
(G) (A)
Love go 'round, love go 'round
(D)
A joyful sound
(G) (C) (D)
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
(G) (C) (G7) (C) (G)
But then the wheels of love go 'round
(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
Then I climb back up again
(C) (G)
And she waits by the door
Oh Cotton Jenny I'm sore
(D)
And she rubs my feet while the sun goes down
(G) (C) (G7) (C) (G)
And the wheels of love go 'round
(G) (C) (D)
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
(G) (C) (G7) (C) (G)
But then the wheels of love go 'round
(G)
In the hot, sickly South
(C) (G)
When they say we'll shut my mouth
(D)
I can never be free from my cotton grind
(C) (G)
But I know I got what's mine
A soft southern flame
(C) (G)
Oh Cotton Jenny's her name
(D)
She wakes me up when the sun goes down
(G) (C) (G7) (C) (G)
And the wheels of love go 'round
(G) (C) (D)
I ain't got a penny for Cotton Jenny to spend
(G) (C) (G7) (C) (G)
But then the wheels of love go 'round
