     E                       B7    A
Crow Janie, Crow Janie, Crow Jane, don't you hold your head high,
E                  B7              E
Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.
           B7            E            B7              E
You got to lay down and,   you got to die, you got to


E                      B7      A
And I want to buy me a pistol, wolf me forty rounds of ball,
E               B7              E
Shoot Crow Jane just to see her fall.
           B7                E            B7                E
She got to fall, she got to,   she got to fall, she got to



Chorus:

    E                  B7    A       
You know I begged Crow Jane, not to hold her head too high,
E              B7                  E
Someday, Baby, you know you got to die.
           B7             E            B7              E
You got to lay down, and,   you got to die, you got to

      E         B7     A
And I dug her a grave, with a silver spade,
E                     B7                  E
Ain't nobody going to take my Crow Jane's place.
   B7                  E        B7             E
no you can't take her,   no you can't take her



(Repeat Chorus)


    E              B7    A
You know I let her down, with a golden chain,
    E                  B7                  E
And every link I would call my Crow Jane's name.
     B7          E      B7         E
Crow Jane, Crow,   Crow Jane, Crow


         E                  B7     A
You know I never missin' my water, til my well ran dry,
       E              B7                E
Didn't miss Crow jane until the day she died.
        B7        E         B7       E
til the day, she,   til the day, she



(Repeat Chorus)


    E              B7     A                 
You know I dug her grave, eight feet in the ground,
E                 B7               E
Didn't feel sorry til they let her down.
     B7      E                    B7              E         
they had to,   let her down, they had, to let her down,



(Repeat Chorus)
