Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy     
C#
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound     
B
Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty     
    C#
The kind that a rich man can't turn down     
    Ebm
She caught the eye of an oil man dancing     
C#
One summer night in a dime store dress     
B
She had the looks, he had the mansion     
C#
And you can figure out the rest     
     
Ebm
He was all roses, dripping in diamonds, sipping on champagne     
Ebm                                                           C#
She was all uptown, wearing that white gown, taking his last name     
     
                     B
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing     
F#                        Ebm
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing     
C#                               B
Fold your hands and close your eyes     
                          F#
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright     
                       Ebm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing     
C#                Ebm
Yeah, they're ringing

Jenny was hosting Junior League parties     
C#
And having dinner at the country club     
B
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie     
C#
But Ken was always getting way too drunk     
Ebm
Saturday night, after a few too many     
C#
He came home ready to fight     
B
And all his money could never save Jenny     
C#
From the devil living in his eyes     
     
Ebm
It was all bruises, covered in makeup, dark sunglasses     
Ebm                                                               C#
And that next morning, sitting in the back pew, praying with the baptist     
     
                     B
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing     
F#                        Ebm
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing     
C#                               B
Fold your hands and close your eyes     
                          F#
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright     
                       Ebm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing     
C#                B      Ebm   B    Ebm   B
Yeah, they're ringing

Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey     
C#
No law man was ever gonna find     
B
And how he died is still a mystery     
C#
But he hit a woman for the very last time     
     
                     B
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing     
F#                        Ebm
Standing there in a black dress singing, singing     
C#                               B
Fold your hands and close your eyes     
                          F#
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright     
                       Ebm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
