Jayton And Jill chords by Zane Williams

Drop D Tuning
Capo on 2

The G chord that he plays looks like this: DADGBE and the Em 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 Bm of every chorus, he does a pull off and a hammer on on the B 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

Verse:
D

Jayton had a job for seven bucks an hour?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


G D A Bm G D Em G

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

Ending: G A D
