{t:Cotton Jenny}
{st:Gordon Lightfoot (1971)}

[G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑] [G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑] 2x


There's a [G] house on a hill 
By a [C] worn down weathered old [G] mill 
In the valley be- [D] low where the river winds 
There's no such thing as bad [G] times 
And a soft southern flame 
Oh [C] Cotton Jenny's her [G] name 
She wakes me [D] up when the sun goes down 
And the wheel of love goes [G] 'round


Wheels of love go [C] 'round 
Love go [G] 'ro-ou-ou-ound, 
Love go [A] 'round 
A joyful [D] sound 
I ain't [G] got a penny for [C] Cotton Jenny to [D] spend 
But then the wheels go [G ↓ ↓] 'round 


[C↓↑↓↑] [G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑]
[G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑] [G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑]


When the [G]new day begins 
I go [C] down to the cotton [G] gin 
And I make my [D] time worth while to them 
Then I climb back up a-[G]-gain 
And she waits by the door 
Oh [C] Cotton Jenny I'm [G] sore 
And she rubs my [D]feet while the sun goes down 
And the wheel of love goes [G]'round


Wheels of love go [C] 'round 
Love go [G] 'ro-ou-ou-ound, 
Love go [A] 'round 
A joyful [D] sound 
I ain't [G] got a penny for [C] Cotton Jenny to [D] spend 
But then the wheels go [G ↓ ↓] 'round 


[C↓↑↓↑] [G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑]
[G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑] [G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑]


In the [G]hot, stickly South 
Where they [C]say well shut my [G] mouth 
I can never be [D] free from my cotton grind 
But I know I got what's [G] mine 
A soft southern flame 
Oh [C] Cotton Jenny's her [G] name 
She wakes me [D] up when the sun goes down 
And the wheel of love goes [G]'round


Wheels of love go [C] 'round 
Love go [G] 'ro-ou-ou-ound, 
Love go [A] 'round 
A joyful [D] sound 
I ain't [G] got a penny for [C] Cotton Jenny to [D] spend 
But then the wheels go [G ↓ ↓] 'round 


[C↓↑↓↑] [G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑]
[G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑] [G↓ ↓] [C↓↑↓↑]


The [G↓ ↓] wheels of [C↓↑↓↑] love go [G↓] round.
