C/G
Is this your life, Jackie Brown? (Figure #2)   
                                             Em             (Figure #3)
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town 

C/G
Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown? (Figure #2) 
                                                           Em           (Figure #3)
This pretty little girl in worn out clothes that have been hand-me-down 
C/G
Is this your wife, Jackie Brown? (Figure #1) 
                                            Em
Sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells, so you don't see her frown 
F             G            C/G
Is this your family Jackie Brown? 

(Figure #1)

[Chorus]

F                         C/G
Dream of vacationing in a mountain stream 
Am                                     G
And giving the world more than it gave you   
F                   C/G
What ugly truths freedom brings 
Am                              G
And it hasn't been very kind to you   
F             G         C/G
Is this your life, Jackie Brown?

[Verse]

C/G                              (Figure #3)
Is this your meal, Jackie Brown? 
                                           Em(Figure #4)
Barely enough, I've seen people throw more than this out 

C/G
Is this your home, Jackie Brown? 
                                              Em(Figure #3)
This three room shack, with no running water and a bathroom out back 

C/G
Is this your grave, Jackie Brown? 
                                                              Em
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took himself out 
F              G          C/G
Is this your dream, Jackie Brown? 

[Chorus]

F                  C/G
Going nowhere and nowhere fast 
Am                                           G
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live 
F                            C/G
But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown? 
Am                                 G
Just another lazy man who couldn't take what was his 
F              G           C/G
One hell of a life, Jackie Brown     
F       G            C/G
Forever more, Jackie Brown     
F      G            C/G  
Well, amen amen, Jackie Brown
