Am        G               D               C  Bm
Sometimes I think about, old folks back home
Am                                G           D         C  Bm
That 12 Mile road that I used to roam

[Chorus]
Am            G                D                 C  Bm
Sometimes I think about, that girl name Willie Jean
Am                Dm             E7
Wondering if she made it doen to New Orleans

[Verse]
Am           G                D          C Bm
Whenever I think about the folks back there
Am           G                D            C         Bm
You know I wonder if they still have that old county fair

[Chorus]
Am            G                D                 C  Bm

Wondering if she made it doen to New Orleans

[Verse]
Am                G         D                C   Bm
We used to watch riverboats from a grassy bank
Am             G           D                 C    Bm
Drinking hot water from a railroad filling tank

[Chorus]
Am            G                D                 C  Bm
Sometimes I think about, that girl name Willie Jean
Am                Dm             E7
Wondering if she made it doen to New Orleans

[Verse]
Am              G        D                C  Bm
The folk back there say why you come to harm
Am         G              D              C Bm
Now here I am sitting here on this country farm

[Chorus]
Am            G                D                 C  Bm
Sometimes I think about, that girl name Willie Jean
Am                Dm             E7
Wondering if she made it doen to New Orleans

Am           G            D             C    Bm      Am
Oh Willie Jean, Willie Jean would you come back to me
        G         D             C        Bm
Here I am sittin here on this God Damn farm
           Am           G               D                      C       Bm
Oh Willie Jean, Willie Jean would you come back, come on and help me now
