SE 1
G C G G
I don?t know the sound of my father?s voice
G G D D
I don?t even know how he says my name
C D Em C
But it plays out like song on a jukebox in a bar
G D/A D G G
In the back of my head till it?s worrying machine
G C G G
And in the cotton fields by the house where I was born
G G D D
The leaves burn like effigies of my kin
C D Em C
And the trains run like snakes through the Pentecostal pines
G D G G
Filled up with cotton and dime store gin
CHORUS I
Em Em C G
Jacksonville, how you burden in my soul
D C Em Em
How you hold all my dreams captive
Em Em C G
Jacksonville, how you play with my mind
D C
How my heart goes bad
Em D Em Em
Suffocating on the pines in Jacksonville
