Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
Look what Jim [Am]Crow's
done [Dsus4]and gone
Went and changed his [G]name
[Am]Don't know what he's going
by these [G]days
But he's [D]still act[G]in' [F]the same
You can call it what [C]you want to
But it's [Am]still a minstrel [G]show[F]
You can call it what [C]you want [G]to
But it's still Jim [Am]Crow[Em]
[Am]

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

[Verse 2]
Jim's probably laying [Am]in
this [G]morning
Hummin' as he [Am]sleeps
Feeling the glow of another
man's [G]woman
As [D]she lies [Dsus4]beneath his[G] feet
En[F]joyin' the cool [C]morning [Am]breeze
Smellin' flowers as he [G]goes[F]
Looks like he's [C]changed his ways
[G]Ah, but [Am]he's still Jim Crow

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G][Dsus4][G][Am]
[G][Dsus4][G][Am][F][C][Am][G]
[F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
Jim will spend the [Am]rest of [G]the day
Playin' [D]in some big [G]hotel[Am]
It's an old song with very
bad [G]rhymes
But he does it so well
[Am]He'll make[F] some new acquaintance[C]s
When [Am]he's out on his evening [G]stroll[Em]
[F]It's amazing that after all thi[C]s time
So [G]many love

[Outro 1]
Big Jim Crow
[Am][G][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
