A minorAm
 Look what Jim Crow's done and gone
G+G
 He Went and changed His name
A minorAm
 Don't know what He's going by these days
G+G
 But He's still actin' the same

FF           C majorC
 You can call it what You want to
     A minorAm        G+G
But it's still a minstrel show
FF           C majorC
 You can call it what You want to
G+G          A minorAm ..
 But it's still Jim Crow

... | A minorAm | A minorAm | A minorAm |
| A minorAm | A minorAm | A minorAm | A minorAm |

A minorAm
 Jim's probably laying in this morning
G+G
 Hummin' as He sleeps
A minorAm
 Feeling the glow of another Man's Woman
G+G
 As She lies beneath His feet

FF       C majorC
 Enjoyin' the cool morning breeze
     A minorAm      G+G
Smellin' flowers as He goes
FF         C majorC
 Looks like He's changed His ways
G+G  A minorAm ..
Ah,   but He's still Big Jim Crow

... | A minorAm | G+G | G+G | A minorAm | A minorAm | G+G | G+G |

| C majorC | C majorC | A minorAm | G+G | C majorC | C majorC | G+G |

A minorAm
Jim will spend the rest of the day
G+G
 Playin' in some big hotel
A minorAm
It's an old song with very bad rhymes
G+G
 But He does it so well

    FF       C majorC
He'll make some new acquaintances
     A minorAm         G+G
When He's out on His evening stroll
FF            C majorC
 It's amazing that after all this time
    G+G
So many love
    A minorAm ..
Big Jim Crow
