Jayton And Jill chords by Zane Williams

Chords with lyrics

Drop D MajorD Tuning
Capo on 2

The G+G chord that he plays looks like this: DADGBE and the E minorEm chord looks like this: DADGBE
                      550030                  222000
Of course you can just play in regular tuning and keep the chords in their regular form, but this is how he
plays it live.

Also, in live versions, at the last B minorBm of every chorus, he does a pull off and a hammer on on the BB string. He
doesn't do it in the album version, but I think it sounds cool anyways.
Listen to a live version to find the timing.

Intro: D MajorD

Verse:
D MajorD
Jayton had a job for seven bucks an hour?

At the fillin' station by the water tower
?    A augmentedA
Just checkin' oil and fixin' flats?
 G+G                    D MajorD
The kind of kid most folks just look past
?
D MajorD
Jill was the local preacher's kid gone wild?

Most the time her daddy couldn't stand his own child?
 A augmentedA
He'd quote the scripture with an angry shout?
   G+G                       D MajorD
And list her all the reasons she would never turn out?

Chorus:
     G+G           D MajorD
She was drunk one night on the fourth of July?
 A augmentedA             B minorBm
Parked in a pasture with an out-of-town guy?
G+G         D MajorD
He got mad when she said no?
    E minorEm        G+G
And he tore her Sunday dress?
     G+G          D MajorD
She was wanderin' alone on a county road?
     A augmentedA          B minorBm
When the lights came over the hill?
 G+G            A augmentedA     D MajorD
That was the moment when Jayton met Jill

Verse:
 D MajorD
He said hey, do you need a ride home?

She said go away, leave me alone?
   A augmentedA
But he noticed the bruise and the frightened tears?
      G+G                     D MajorD
Said there ain't no way in Hell I'm leavin' you out here

    D MajorD
It was rainin' a little and fixin' to storm?

And his mustang jacket looked dry and warm
     A augmentedA
So she let him wrap it 'round her and she climbed inside?
 G+G                 D MajorD
Sayin' OK I guess thanks for the ride

Chorus:
   G+G           D MajorD
At an all-night diner they waited out the storm?
A augmentedA           B minorBm
Ended up talking right up 'til dawn?
 G+G               D MajorD
By the time he dropped her off safe at home?
    E minorEm       G+G
Neither one felt so alone
 G+G       D MajorD
Two lost souls found a connection
     A augmentedA          B minorBm
that's blessin' both of them still?
G+G          A augmentedA     D MajorD
On that night when Jayton met Jill

G+G D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G

Chorus:
   G+G              D MajorD
And what Jayton never told her about that night
 ?      A augmentedA          B minorBm
Is how he'd taken his dad's old 45?
       G+G            D MajorD
He'd been drivin' 'round thinkin' how no one would miss him
  E minorEm       G+G
If he just ended it all?
G+G           D MajorD
He couldn't see past his own pain?
     A augmentedA            B minorBm
'Til he saw a pretty girl walkin' in the rain?
 G+G
Thank God he made it over that hill
? G+G            A augmentedA     D MajorD
That was the moment when Jayton met Jill?

Ending: G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
