AGently Jack Jones won't you come to Eme."
[Chorus]
BBrown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The Abottle was dusty but the Eliquor was Bclean.
ASound of the thunder with the Erain pourin' C#mdown,
And it F#mlooks like the old man's Agettin' Eon.Bm  Cm  C#m  
[Verse 2]
C#mIn 1920 when he steppeEd to the bar,
BDrank to the dregs of the whiskey Ajar.Bm  Cm  C#m  
C#mIn 1930 when the wall caved Ein,
AHe paid his way selling red-eyed ginE.
[Chorus]
BBrown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The Abottle was dusty but the Eliquor was Bclean.

And it F#mlooks like the old man's Agettin' Eon.Bm  Cm  C#m  
[Verse 3]
C#mDelilah Jones was the motheEr of twins,
BTwo times over and the rest were sAins.Bm  Cm  C#m  
C#mRaised eight boys, only I tEurned bad,
ADidn't get the lickins that the other ones Ehad.
[Chorus]
BBrown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The Abottle was dusty but the Eliquor was Bclean.
ASound of the thunder with the Erain pourin' C#mdown,
And it F#mlooks like the old man's Agettin' Eon.Bm  Cm  C#m  
[Bridge]
BmTumble down shack in ABig Foot Ecounty.
BmSnowed so hard that the Aroof cEaved in.
C#mDelilah BJones went to Ameet her G#mGod,
AAnd the old man never was the same aEgain.Bm  Cm  C#m  
[Verse 4]
C#mDaddy made whiskey and he Emade it well.
BCost two dollars and it Aburned like hell.Bm  Cm  C#m  
C#mI cut hick'ry just to Efire the still,
ADrink down a bottle and be ready to Ekill.
[Chorus]
BBrown-eyed women and red grenadine,

And it F#mlooks like the old man's Agettin' Eon.
And it F#mlooks like the old man's Agettin' Eon.
