INTRO:
F# B F# C#7
I was put here by a jury..of twelve good men and true.
F# B F# C#7 F#
For myself I wouldn't worry..but what about Jenny Lou.
CHORUS:
F# B C#7
What'll they do to her..what'll they do to her..what'll
F#
they do to my darling?
F# B
Will they go blaming her..taunting and shaming her..
C#7 F#
after I'm gone away?
#1.
F# B F#
Since the main street was deserted..they all believe the
C#7
worst.
F# B F# C#7 F#
There was only me and Jenny..could swear it was him drew first.
#2.
F# B F# C#7
They believe I meant to kill him..although he'd been my pal.
F# B F# C#7
There was real bad blood between us..for Jenny was once his
F#
gal.
