Verse 1:
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
The main door was left wide-open, but I took the other
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
There were shouts and screams and meanwhile I was arbitrator
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
Sat myself in between he and his replacement mother
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
He seemed to be so briefly my good French brother
C#C# BB F#F#
But the friendship is no longer on
C#C# BB G# minorG#m F#F#
Jean is goin', goin', gone
Verse 2:
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
He said he'd leave, he leaves me no other option
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
But to put my loyalties up for adoption
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
And it seems to be to me that weed leaves lie forgotten
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
And we used to smoke those leaves, oh so very often
C#C# BB F#F#
Often and for very long
C#C# BB G# minorG#m F#F#
So Jean is goin', goin', gone
Verse 3:
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
He'd say he knows his nose could smell that I was smitten
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
With that girl from across the road, did you see I was love-bitten?
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
He'd tell me that he had my back and then my spine would stiffen
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
But I cursed when I learned his word weren't really worth a pittance
C#C# BB F#F#
Both of them had lead me on
C#C# BB G# minorG#m F#F#
Oh Jean is goin', goin', gone
Verse 4:
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
I could see in his eyes that I weren't really much motivation
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
To inspire him to be kind, I took a mental notation
F#F# D#mD#m F#F# D#mD#m
These lies no crimes of mine, my truths are on rotation
F#F# D#mD#m D#D# D#mD#m
To be wise I knew he'd provide all the right quotations
C#C# BB F#F#
But his wisdom, it was just a con
C#C# BB G# minorG#m F#F#
So Jean is goin', goin', gone
C#C# BB G# minorG#m F#F#
So Jean is goin', goin', gone
