about

Jessie Price portrays the long term effects of unrequited love and heartbreak. Much like Lot’s wife, Jessie retains her grief. She does not cry about her loss, instead she is practical and altruistic.

Jessie Price - Lyrics


Intro

Am (with G,F#,F,E) X 4


Verse 1

Am
Forty years in the making of a heart that’s made of ice
C E7
Resembling the nature of an Aunt named Jessie Price
Am C
With sacrifice aplenty, her sugar’s turned to spice
E7 Am
And her upholstery matches the decor


Verse 2

Do you mind and if you please and oh no not at all
At the party Jessie Price is standing in the hall
In a corduroy skirt and cardigan Jessie you’re a bore
As she waits to do the bidding as she’s told


Chorus


C G
She’s the salt of the earth; it’s true we love her dearly
Am E7
But the hardships of her life have affected her severely
C G
Anniversaries and birthdays mark the passing of each year
E7 Am
But she braces every moment with a smile


Verse 3

Back in 1942 young Jessie’s in her swing
The daffs are on the table, they fill the air with spring
She checks her lipstick one more time, waits for the bell to ring
But her lover has been blown up by the war


Bridge


D Am
The flowers shed their petals like tears of bitter gall
D E7
The snapshot on the mantelpiece is thrown against the wall
Am C
The ghostly ring of footsteps echo down the hall
E7 Am
As her fist of feathers dust away her dreams


Chorus

Am (with G,F#,F,E) X 4



Solo

Am C E7 Am C E7 Am



Chorus


Middle 8

F C G Am
Woah hoa Jessie you’re a one
F C G Am
We all thought you’d have a daughter or a son
F C E7 F Dm
But you’re precious heart was broken, the bullet from a gun
G
What’s done is done


Chorus


Outro

Am (with G,F#,F,E) X 4
