Bm A x2
Bm
Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy
A
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound
G
Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty
A
The kind that a rich man can't turn down
Bm
She caught the eye of an oil man dancing
A
One summer night in a dime store dress
G
She had the looks, he had the mansion
A
And you can figure out the rest
Bm
He was all roses, dripping in diamonds, sipping on champagne
Bm A
She was all uptown, wearing that white gown, taking his last name
G
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
D Bm
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
A G
Fold your hands and close your eyes
D
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Bm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
A Bm
Yeah, they're ringing
Bm
Jenny was hosting Junior League parties
A
And having dinner at the country club
G
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie
A
But Ken was always getting way too drunk
Bm
Saturday night, after a few too many
A
He came home ready to fight
G
And all his money could never save Jenny
A
From the devil living in his eyes
Bm
It was all bruises, covered in makeup, dark sunglasses
Bm A
And that next morning, sitting in the back pew, praying with the baptist
G
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
D Bm
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
A G
Fold your hands and close your eyes
D
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Bm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
A G Bm G Bm G
Yeah, they're ringing
Bm
Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey
A
No law man was ever gonna find
G
And how he died is still a mystery
A
But he hit a woman for the very last time
G
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
D Bm
Standing there in a black dress singing, singing
A G
Fold your hands and close your eyes
D
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Bm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
A Bm
