Verse 1
(C major) Hey Jane
Watching over you in Nebraska

Verse 2
(C major) She says
You will be the consummate scholar
And she says
Do you know the world
is your oyster?
The man says (C minor)
Come and we will climb Mount Olympus
But (B flat major) all you want is to be (G major) there,
in the presence of her smile (D minor) (G major)
In the presence of her smile (D minor) (G major)
Interlude 1
In the presence of her smile
(C major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 3
(C major) We are
Circling over clouds,
we are tethered
Wondering
When you're gonna hit bumpy weather
Your (C minor) heart skips
Every time you detect her fragrance
She's (B flat major) out there
Stinking up the (G major) late evening air
with other boys (D minor) (G major)
A plague on other (D minor) boys (A minor) (D minor)
(G major) How this feeling does annoy (C major) you (F major)
A plague on (C major) other (G major) (C major) (A minor)
(B flat major)
(F major) (C major) (A minor)
(B flat major) (F major) (C major) boys
Verse 4
They say How can you know (C major)
love, you're a minor?
And you say
What else could I know, this defines me?
(C minor) I start
Growing, I'm a mess, I'm defeated
My (B flat major) grade point average went to (G major) hell
(C major) Watching
Listening for a cultural movement
Get strong
Lenses to see into the future
(C minor) March on
Washington if she's in the vanguard
(B flat major) Base your
Politics on (G major) what she's
got written on a flag (D minor)
(G major) What she's written on a flag (D minor) (F major)
(G major) What she's written on a flag (C major)
(F major) My body's mine and you're a (C major) drag
(G major) What she's written on a flag (D minor)
(G major) What she's written on a flag (D minor)
(G major) People are good and walls
are madness (C major) (F major)
She wrote it (C major) on a flag (G major)
Verse 5
(C major) Ten long years it (A minor) took to shake
the memory (B flat major)
The pain, (F major) humiliation
(C major) But then suddenly (A minor) you realized
You're (B flat major) free
To (F major) fraternize again
(C major) She got married,
stayed (A minor) in town and raised a (B flat major) home
See (F major) her at Thanksgiving
(C major) There's a roped up (A minor) part
of every human (B flat major) heart
(F major) For the first one you (C major) love
