Song For Jainie

(Tim Buckley)

TIM BUCKLEY

From Tim Buckley, 1966

Verse 1:

(A) G D A

You've got the untortured mind of a woman

Who has answered all the questions before

You've got the free-givin' ways of a woman

G D A /G /F# /E

Who has kicked all the heartache out the door

And Jainie, don't you know?

Verse 2:

I brought to you my tired clothes and weary faith to you

And with a smile you took me in and showed me love again

Now it has to be to say good-bye or stay and I don't know

But remember please I gave you love that's only mine to give

(chorus)

Verse 3:

Yes, I truly love to be with you

If I wasn't with the one that I'm with.

Yes, I truly love to lie by you

If I didn't have to give what I give.

(chorus)

(repeat verse 2)

(chorus, after final riff end on an A)

****

The guitar is fingerpicked, and sounds like barre chords,

especially for the chorus.

Listen to the song, and you'll know what I mean
