Riff 1 x 2
Riff 2
[verse]
D (w/riff 3) E7
Jemima Surrender, I'm gonna give it to you,
G A7
Ain't no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe.
D G F (w/riff 3)
If I were a barker in a girly show,
D G F D G A7
Tell ya what I'd do, I'd lock the door, 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!
[rpt intro]
Jemima Surrender, I'm gonna give it to you,
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,
You know he laughs just like a goose,
But looks like a hawk
Jemima, you know what I'm try'n to say,
Meet me in front and we'll fly away.
Solo
D Csus2 G/B A7
D Csus2 G/B A7
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
[riff 2 into verse]
[rpt verse]
Jemima Surrender, I'm gonna give it to you,
Ain't no pretender, gonna see my tattoo;
I hand you my rod and you hand me that line,
That's what you do, now, we ain't doing much fishin'
Or drinkin' any wine.
Sweet Jemima, if I were king
I'd fix you up with a diamond ring.
