Riff 2

[verse]

D MajorD       (w/riff 3)  E7E7
 Jemima Surrender,     I'm gonna give it to you,
G+G             A7A7
 Ain't no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe.
  D MajorD          G+G     FF  (w/riff 3)
If I were a barker in a girly show,
D MajorD    G+G      FF  D MajorD       G+G         A7A7
 Tell ya what I'd do, I'd lock the door, tear my shirt and let my river flow.
  G+G             E minorEm
Oh, oh, Sweet Jemima wont'cha come out tonight?
     G+G            A7A7      D MajorD
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 MajorD Csus2Csus2 G/BG/B A7A7
D MajorD Csus2Csus2 G/BG/B A7A7

FF          G+G
You can change your name
         C majorC
You can find a new walk
        E MajorE
You can change a lock, its all the same
FF           G+G
You don't have to give out
          C majorC
If you'll only give in
                  A augmentedA
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.
