This song is called Jackson Square and it's about Jackson Square in New Orleans
Like I dropped out of high school when I was 16.
I started traveling around the country and
The first place I went was New Orleans.
I just felt like a real pool down there and you know, it's a story song
It's not about something that actually happened to me
But it was about a lot of the inspiration came from just meeting people and being inspired by stories
I heard when I was down in New Orleans
[F#] First cloud coming [G#m] off an old dirt road [C#] that leads up [F#] here to this little graveyard
[D#m] Seven lights [G#m] in a perfect row
[C#] Under [F#] each light is a police car just because you say it [G#m] doesn't make it true
[C#] You can say that I'm guilty [F#] man.
I just don't care
You can burn [G#] my body [G#m] black.
Just [C#] don't make me go back [F#] to Jackson Square
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
I'll met you [G#m] on the Hayter Street [C#] with your little bare feet [F#] and your violin
I was [D#m] walking by with [G#m] my guitar in my hand.
[C#] You smiled at me [F#] and I jumped right in
Before I knew it [G#m] you were all I knew [C#] every moment together [F#] was an answer prayer
After a while, we [G#m] had some money saved up [C#] and we rented a room [F#] over Jackson Square
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
Then one day
[G#m] Everything [C#] changed your eyes got strange.
You [F#] didn't seem yourself.
You go to tell a story [G#m] and you'd start out fine
[C#] Halfway through it [F#] you'd be somewhere else and I started having [G#m] the strangest dream
[C#] I held a string [F#] and looked up in the air
You were glowing [G#m] with the strangest light [C#] drifting out of sight [F#] over Jackson Square
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
Life is [G#m] something that you can't control [C#] when you try to hold on [F#] to it.
It makes you let go
Things are [G#m] not like they were before
[C#] I can hear a [F#] crime through the bathroom door
She says she hears [G#m] spirits all around the room [C#] and they're telling her [F#] things that make her feel scared
I've no [G#m] idea what to do.
[C#] But both end over our [F#] heads on Jackson Square.
Good God.
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
I woke up [G#m] with a weight on my [C#] chest
People were screaming [F#] on the street below.
I reached for you.
[G#m] I was alone in the [C#] bed
Wind was [F#] blowing through an open window
And [D#m] suddenly I was [G#m] very old in [C#] a little [F#] bowl
Absolutely, no way
Staring at the [G#m] side of the universe [C#] and your tiny body [F#] down on Jackson Square
And don't [G#m] tell me that there ain't no [C#] end
The damn well is and [F#] it waits in the wings
I see you kneeling [G#] there center stage [C#] in your tiny [F#] cage made of angel wings
While I'm [G#m] here every [C#] night
Load my gun [F#] and try not to go there
[G#] Anyone who says that life is clear has [C#] never seen a mirror or [F#] been to Jackson Square
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
[G#m] [C#] Oh
[F#] [G#m] [C#] [F#]
