Verse 1
E
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live
G#m
E
on the poor side of town.
Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown?
This pretty little girl
In the worn out clothes
G#m
E
That have been hand- me down.
Is this your wife, Jackie Brown?
With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells
G#m
A
so you don't see her frown.
B
Is this your fam ily, Jackie Brown?
E
Verse 2

Dream of vacationing on
E
a mountain stream

And giving the world more
B

than it gave you.
E
What ugly truths freedom brings
C#m

A
And it hasn't been very kind to you.

Is this your life,

Is this your meal, Jackie Brown?
Barely enough, I've seen people

throw more than this out.
Is this your home, Jackie Brown?
This three room shack
With no running water
G#m

And the bathroom out back.
Is this your grave, Jackie Brown?
This little piece of limestone that says

another desperate man took
A
Himself out.
B
Is this your dream, Jackie Brown?
E

Going nowhere and nowhere fast

We shame ourselves to watch

people like this live.

Just an other lazy man who

Forevermore, Jackie Brown
