CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO]
[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [F] [G] [C]

[VERSE 1]
A hound bays in the [G]distant dark, a [F]whippoorwill takes [G]flight
[C]Jane is on a[G]nother lark, [F]passing [G]through the [C]night
Like a fox that [G]flees her cage, [F]just because she [G]can
[C]Like a lady [G]come of age, a [F]woman [G]with a [C]plan

[CHORUS]
She [F]comes and [C]goes like [G]summer [C]rain
As [F]flighty [C]as a [G]whooping crane
As [F]restless [C]as a [G]weather [C]vane
Oh, [F]wherefore [G]art thou, [C]Jane?

[INTERLUDE]
[C] [G] [C]

[VERSE 2]
Going up or [G]going down, [F]going fast and [G]far
[C]Up a hill or [G]through a town, or [F]to a [G]distant [C]star
She’ll cut the string and [G]take her fling, or [F]sit and watch the [G]sky
Or [C]turn her hand to [G]anything, or [F]kiss it [G]all good[C]bye

[CHORUS]
She [F]takes the [C]ball and [G]breaks the [C]chain
[F]Pours pre[C]caution [G]down the drain
[F]Bubbles [C]over [G]like cham[C]pagne
Oh, [F]wherefore [G]art thou, [C]Jane?

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(banjo break)

[VERSE 3]
In the land of [G]midnight peril, on the [F]shore of any[G]where
That [C]dreams fly free and [G]feral, oh, [F]you will [G]find Jane [C]there
You might not find the [G]words that rhyme to [F]make a perfect [G]song
But [C]if you find the [G]time sometime, [F]Jane might [G]sing a[C]long

[CHORUS]
She [F]comes and [C]goes like [G]summer [C]rain
As [F]flighty [C]as a [G]whooping crane
As [F]restless [C]as a [G]weather [C]vane
Oh, [F]wherefore [G]art thou, [C]Jane?

[CHORUS]
She’s [F]fickle [C]as fi[G]nancial [C]gain
Sells [F]trouble [C]like an [G]ad campaign
She [F]takes the [C]risk and [G]risks the [C]pain
Oh, [F]wherefore [G]art thou, [C]Jane?

[INTERLUDE]
[C] [G] [C]

[VERSE 4]
Another hound bays [G]in the night, and [F]someone wonders [G]why
[C]Did a prowler [G]come in sight, or [F]did Jane [G]just pass [C]by?
Like a fox that’s [G]free of cage, [F]like a Peter [G]Pan
[C]Like a lady [G]come of age, a [F]woman [G]with a [C]plan

[CHORUS]
She [F]takes the [C]ball and [G]breaks the [C]chain
[F]Pours pre[C]caution [G]down the drain
[F]Bubbles [C]over [G]like cham[C]pagne
Oh, [F]wherefore [G]art thou, [C]Jane?

[CHORUS]
She’s [F]sweet and [C]good and [G]true and [C]sane
[F]Simple [C]as a [G]daisy chain
[F]Sweeter [C]still while [G]raising [C]cane
Oh, [F]wherefore [G]art thou, [C]Jane?
