Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Two young girls [A]were swept
[Am]down [F]the culverts in the rain
St. [Em]Petersburg was flooded
[A]again[Am]
I reached [A]my hand out for them
[Am]but I watc[F]hed them slip away
And I [Em]had to get up to
Jacksonville that day
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
I don't need anyone to remind me
I don't get the big [G]picture
I don't need anybody to find me
Hangin' from a lighting fixture [C]and

[Verse 3]
I'll never play [G]Jacksonville [Am]again[F][C]
I'll never get [G]on that
southbound [Am]aeroplane[F]
They [C]gave me a ticket pointed [G]me south
Gave me [Am]five hundred bucks
to [F]shut my [C]mouth

[Verse 4]
I'll never play [Em]Jacksonville[C]
I'll never have [Em]that weird [C]thrill
I'll never play [F]Jackson[G]ville [Am]again,
[Em]again

[Verse 5]
The [Am]road was like a river,
[F]the fields were like the sea
The [Em]thunder clouds were
closin' in on [Am]me
I gunned that motor onward
[F]up route 1- 95
[Em]Checked my pulse, yep, [Am]still alive

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
I don't need anyone to remind me
[F]To [Dm]take my hand out of a f[F]ire[G]
I don't need anybody to find me

[Verse 7]
Tied up with piano wiring
[C]
I'll never play [G]Jacksonville [Am]again[F][C]
I'll never get [G]on that
southbound [Am]aeroplane[F]
They [C]gave me a ticket pointed [G]me south
Gave me [Am]five hundred bucks
to just [F]shut your [C]mouth

[Verse 8]
I'll never play [Em]Jacksonville[C]
I'll never have [Em]that weird [C]thrill
I'll never play [F]Jackson[G]ville again,
[Am]again

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Am][Em][Dm]
[G][Am]

[Verse 9]
They [Am]put me on at the milk bar a[F]nd said,
?Hey, good luck, kid
[Em]Here's your Jagermeister,
here's [Am]half [A]a lid?[Am]
Put the past behind you,
it's [F]over, pay your bill
[Em]This is where it ends now, Jacksonville
[Am]

[Verse 10]
[Dm]
I don't need any[F]one to [Dm]remind [F]me
[Dm]I'm on the end of a sk[G]ewer
I don't need anybody to find me

[Verse 11]
Floatin' around in the sewer
[C]
I'll never play [G]Jacksonville [Am]again[F][C]
I'll never get [G]on that
southbound [Am]aeroplane[F]
They [C]gave me a ticket
poin[G]ted me south
Gave me [Am]five hundred bucks
to shut [F]my [C]mouth

[Verse 12]
I'll never play [Em]Jacksonville[C]
I'll never have [Em]that weird [C]thrill
I'll never play [F]Jackson[G]ville again,
[C]yea[G]h, yea[Am]h, yeah
[F]

[Verse 13]
[C]
I'll never play [G]Jacksonville
[Am]Never, never, never play [F]Jacksonville[C]
No, I'll [G]never, no, I'll never
[Am]No, I'll never play Jack[F]sonv[C]ille
No, I'll [G]never, no, I'll never
[Am]No, I'll never play Jack[F]sonville[G] again,
[Am]again
[Em]
