IntroBmA x2
Verse 1Bm
Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy
A
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound
G
Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty
A
The kind that a rich man can't turn down
Bm
She caught the eye of an oil man dancing
A
One summer night in a dime store dress
G
She had the looks, he had the mansion
A
And you can figure out the rest
Pre-ChorusBm
He was all roses, dripping in diamonds, sipping on champagne
BmA
She was all uptown, wearing that white gown, taking his last name
ChorusG
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
DBm
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
AG
Fold your hands and close your eyes
D
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Bm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
ABm
Yeah, they're ringing
Verse 2Bm
Jenny was hosting Junior League parties
A
And having dinner at the country club
G
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie
A
But Ken was always getting way too drunk
Bm
Saturday night, after a few too many
A
He came home ready to fight
G
And all his money could never save Jenny
A
From the devil living in his eyes
Pre-ChorusBm
It was all bruises, covered in makeup, dark sunglasses
BmA
And that next morning, sitting in the back pew, praying with the baptist
ChorusG
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
DBm
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
AG
Fold your hands and close your eyes
D
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Bm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
AGBmGBmG
Yeah, they're ringing
Verse 3Bm
Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey
A
No law man was ever gonna find
G
And how he died is still a mystery
A
But he hit a woman for the very last time
ChorusG
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
DBm
Standing there in a black dress singing, singing

Fold your hands and close your eyes
D
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
Bm
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
ABm
Yeah, they're ringing
