Jack And Diane chords by John Mellencamp

Chords with lyrics

I just sat down and figured this out yesterday. I'm not sure it's all right,
but here it goes. There is one chord I am not sure what it is called, I think
it's an E6, That is how I will note it, it looks like this:E A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB e
                              | | | o | |
                              |-|-|-|-|-|
                              | | o | | |
                              |-|-|-|-|-|

Play the D MajorD chord like the one Eddie Van Halen uses in 316. For those who
don't know it looks like this:
                e------------------------------
                B--------------3---------------
                G--------------2---------------
                D--------------4---------------
                A------------------------------
                E--------------X---------------

I think this sounds a lot better than just using a regular D MajorD chord.

Anyway, the above so-called E6E6 chord should also be used. Here it
is again in the same format I used to tab the above chord:

                e------------------------------
                B------------------------------
                G--------------1---------------
                D--------------2---------------
                A------------------------------
                E------------------------------

The first part (the heavy part) just goes A, E6, A, E6, D MajorD
with the little peck: D------0-0-

The rest is just different words to the same stuff above.
