Song For Jainie
(Tim Buckley)

TIM BUCKLEY
From Tim Buckley, 1966

Verse 1:

(A)            G          D         A
You've got the untortured mind of a woman
        G                D           A
Who has answered all the questions before
               G           D         A
You've got the free-givin' ways of a woman
        G              D                 A    /G /F# /E
Who has kicked all the heartache out the door

Chorus:
    D       A         B
And Jainie, don't you know?

Verse 2:
I brought to you my tired clothes and weary faith to you
And with a smile you took me in and showed me love again
Now it has to be to say good-bye or stay and I don't know
But remember please I gave you love that's only mine to give

(chorus)

Verse 3:
Yes, I truly love to be with you
If I wasn't with the one that I'm with.
Yes, I truly love to lie by you
If I didn't have to give what I give.

(chorus)

(repeat verse 2)

(chorus, after final riff end on an A)
****

The guitar is fingerpicked, and sounds like barre chords,
especially for the chorus.
Listen to the song, and you'll know what I mean
