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-
                      A--0-2-----
                      E----------

Then: A augmentedA      E6E6            D MajorD          E6E6

in-between:

                E, D,D, A augmentedA


CHORUS:
A augmentedA      E6E6     D MajorD         E6E6
    Oh ..

A augmentedA              E6E6         D MajorD         E6E6
Long ..


A augmentedA      E6E6            D MajorD         E MajorE
    Oh ..
A augmentedA              E MajorE         D MajorD      E MajorE  A augmentedA
Long ...

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