I have always liked this one:

We'll Cstart at the start and end at the end
You'll Ffind that your mind might possibly mend
Well Gsure I can help you 'cos you can't help yourself
Have you Cfallen in Flove Gagain ? , have you Cfallen in Flove Gagain ?
 C(D)
Sister Jane you gonna change your name
           F(G)
You gotta get out soon  before you go insane
            G(A)
Before the town starts talkin' , when they see you out walkin'
    C(D)             G(A)         C(D)             G(A)
It sure does seem a shame, yes it sure does seem a shame
 C(D)

And I suggest you catch the 12:45 plane
           G(D)                                         C(D)            F  
Before the family finds out just what you've done, and holds you at the point

of a gun
      C(D)                  F   G(A)        C(D)
And that ain't gonna be much fun, Sister Jane
CWe'll talk of the future, we'll talk of the past
The Fodds were against you, it never could last
You Gcan't think opinions that change overnight
When you Cknow what you Fdone just ain't Gright
You Cdon't mean to tell me you finally done it
You Fplayed at the game and you thought you had won it
And Gnow that you find that you're way out of line
Well Csome people Fcall it a Gcrime, yeah, you Creally have Fdone it this Gtime
CSister Jane you gonna change your name
You gotta Fget out soon  before you go insane
Before the Gtown starts talkin' , when they see you out walkin'
It Csure does seem a Gshame, yes it Csure does seem a Gshame, Sister CJane
You Dtold me the truth, you opened your mind
I Gsaid I would listen and help you unwind
My Adear Sister Jane you've caused nothing but pain
And I Dreally must Gtell you this Atime
I Dknew all along you had to go wrong
In Gthis kind of town you could never belong
I'm Asorry for you and I'm sorry for me
TDhis is the Gway it should Aend
'Cos you've Dfallen in Glove Aagain, Awe-ell.
(Use chords in brackets for the final chorus, down to 'point of a gun then repeat chorus and fade, and in
