[Intro]
E A B
[Verse]
E A E I was born down by the river where the dirty water flows A E And the cold wind cut through me; it cut right through my clothes A E And the anger and the yearning, like fever in my veins E A E Set the fire burning
(Same turnaround)
She came down from Knightstown with her hands hard from the line
From the first time I laid eyes on her I know that she`d be mine
Her father was a lawman--he swore he`d shoot me dead
`Cause he knew I wanted Jeannie and I`d haver her like I said
[Chorus]
E B A E Jeannie needs a shooter, shooter like me E B Jeannie needs a shooter E B A E Jeannie needs a shooter, shooter on her side E B Jeannie needs a shooter
[Instrumental]
E A B
[Verse]
(Same turnaround)
We met down by the river on the final day in May
And when I leaned down to kiss her, she did not turn away
I drew out all my money and together we did vow
To meet that very evening, and get away somehow
[Chorus]
E B A E Jeannie needs a shooter, shooter like me E B Jeannie needs a shooter E B A E Jeannie needs a shooter, shooter on her side E B Jeannie needs a shooter
(Same turnaround)
The night was cold and rainy down by the borderline
I was riding hard to meet her when a shot rang out behind
As I lay there in the darkness with a pistol by my side
Jeannie and her father rode off into the night
Jeannie needs a shooter
