Intro: C F G

C 			F			     C 	
I was born down by the river where the dirty water flows

		       F  				     C	
And the cold wind cut through me; it cut right through my clothes

		       F			   C 	
And the anger and the yearning, like fever in my veins

C            F       C
Set the fire burning

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:

C	 	 G        F            C
Jeannie needs a shooter, shooter like me

C	 	 G        
Jeannie needs a shooter

C	 	 G        F              C
Jeannie needs a shooter, shooter on her side

C	 	 G        Intro
Jeannie needs a shooter

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 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
