Verse 1
D G A F# Jenny cut her teeth in a mid-west shack Bm G A F# As a shantytown girl on the wrong end of the tracks Bm G A F# Her mama taught her everything she'd need to get along Bm G F#sus F# And her Sunday School teacher taught her right and wrong A G Raised to be respectable but born to be poor Bm Bm/D Em F# F# It was all she'd ever known but she figured there was more Bm G A F# When she came of age Jenny made herself a vow Bm G F#sus F# F# F# "I'm gonna get out and I don't care how" Bm G A2 F#7 Bm G A F#7
Verse 2
D G A F# It appeared every Autumn on the courthouse lawn Bm G A F# And the leaves never fell till the carnival was gone Bm G A F# Michael was a barker for an arcade ride Bm G F#sus F# With a smooth-talk tongue and a wandering eye A G "Get your tickets here for the Halls O'Mirrors maze Bm Bm/D Em F# F# If you can't get out I know a couple ways" Bm G A F# He caught Jenny's eye but her thoughts looked down Bm G F#sus F# All she wanted was a ticket going out of that town
Chorus
F# F# She cried, she cried, Bm Bm G G Oh how I wanna bury you Bm Bm G A Oh bury you and run away--done away Bm Bm G A Bm Oh how I wanna bury your memory Em F# F# Why don't you let me be? Bm G A2 F#7 Bm G A A
Verse 3
D G A F# Michael stole a kiss first then he whispered at last Bm G A F# "you're a little old-fashioned so forget about your past Bm G A F# These Bible belt folks think living is a sin Bm G F#sus F# So they all start dying from the day they're born again" A A G G And there atop the Ferris wheel the colours were a blur Bm Bm/D Em F# The morning said he loved her but she wasn't really sure Bm G A F# He made her promise not to leave until he came to get her Bm G F#sus F# She promised him but she should have known better
Chorus
F# F# She cried, she cried, Bm Bm G G Oh how I wanna bury you Bm Bm G A Oh bury you and run away--done away Bm Bm G A Bm Oh how I wanna bury your memory Em F# F# Why don't you let me be? Bm G A2 F#7

Verse 4
C#m A B G#m When they finally found her body on a cold dog day C#m A B G# It was in a cattle car buried in the hay C#m A B G#m A note in the pocket of her calico dress C#m A G#m G#m Said "I'm guilty as sin but I can't confess" B2 B2 A2 A2 Once you know the truth you can hide it on a shelf C#m C#m/E F# G#m G#m G#m G#m But unless you bring it down you can't live with yourself C#m A B2 G#m G#m G#m In her right hand Jenny held the Bible of her mother C#m F#m G# G# G# G# Jenny had a pistol in the other
