The Band - Jemima Surrender: chords

D                E7
Jemima Surrender, I'm gonna give it to you,
G                          A7
Ain't no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe.
   D                     G         F
If I were a barker in a girly show,
D         G          F    D
Tell ya what I'd do, I'd lock the door,
 G                 A7
tear my shirt and let my river flow.
    G                         Em
Oh, oh, Sweet Jemima wont'cha come out tonight?
      G                       A7           D
The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright!

Jemima surrender, that's all you have to do
I'll bring over my Fender
And I'll play all night for you
There's a bird on my head
And his mouth won't talk
(He won't talk-- he's in shock)
You know he laughs just like a goose
But looks like a hawk
Jemima, you know what I'm tryin' to say
Meet me in the front and we'll fly away

F                    G
You can change your name
                    C
You can find a new walk
                  E
You can change a lock, its all the same
F                       G
You don't have to give out
                    C
If you'll only give in
                            A
You can jump and shout but can't you see girl,
that I'm bound to win

Jemima surrender, I'm gonna give it to you
Ain't no pretender, wanna see my tattoo?
I hand you my rod and you hand me that line
That's what you do
And now we ain't doin' much fishin'
Or drinkin' any wine
Sweet Jemima, if I were a king
I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
