The Jamestown Ferry Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Chorus 1]
He just [G]caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a [Em]hot day in January
Like he [D]said it'd be [Em]if he ever left me
A case of [G]gone was all he carried
As he [C]got on the Jamestown [G]Ferry
And he [C]said that gone was [D]all he'd ever [G]be

[Verse 1]
I didn't [G]think that he'd leave me
After [Em]saying how much he needs me
But the [C]fact still re[D]mains
I'm sitting here all a[G]lone
Missing the lovin' of my baby
Lord it's a[Em]bout to drive me crazy
He was the [C]sweetest piece
of [D]heaven I've ever [G]known

[Chorus 2]
He just [G]caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a [Em]hot day in January
Like he [D]said it'd be [Em]if he ever left me
A case of [G]gone was all he carried
As he [C]got on the Jamestown [G]Ferry
And he [C]said that gone was [D]all he'd ever [G]be

[Interlude 1]
[Ab][Ab]

[Verse 2]
As I [Ab]walk through his kingdom
of [Fm]honky- tonks and bars
I re[Db]member how he'd [Eb]hold me
and comfort me with [Ab]talk
He didn't cuss with every breath
He had a [Fm]soothing southern drawl
He made me [Db]feel like a [Eb]la dy through it al[Ab]l

[Chorus 3]
He just [Ab]caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a [Fm]hot day in January
Like he [Eb]said it'd be [Fm]if he ever left me
A case of [Ab]gone was all he carried
As he [Db]got on the Jamestown F[Ab]erry
And he [Db]said that gone was [Eb]all he'd ever [Ab]be

[Outro 1]
He just [Ab]caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a [Fm]hot day in January
Like he [Eb]said it'd be [Fm]if he ever left me
[Fade out]
