Em                                  D
When I last left Jerry Lynn she was crying at the bar
         G                          C
I had to go down to the city had to move a couple cars
    Em                               D               Em
For old Shelburne Montgomery and his partner Alomar

Em                            D
Jerry Lynn was crying and she begged me please don't go
G                            C
Alomar and Shelburne are bad trouble don't you know
         Em                              D                Em
I said I owe them one last favor I'll be dead if I say no

      C          G
Jerry Lynn Jerry Lynn
     D                                 G
When I found you I thought I'd finally win
           Em                 D
Now you're gone Gone like the wind
      Em

Em                             D
Up on Chesterfield Highway the blue lights all came on
           G                        C
Looked for Alomar and Shelburne but they were both long gone
     Em                              D                    Em
Just me and a trunk of cocaine and a bunch of stolen guns

Em                          D
Jerry Lynn deserved so much better of a man
           G                                  C
I would've come out guns'a blazin' I would've made my final stand
     Em                          D                  Em
If I knew that I was never gonna see her face again

      C          G
Jerry Lynn Jerry Lynn
     D                                 G
When I found you I thought I'd finally win
           Em                 D
Now you're gone Gone like the wind

Em                           D
They offered me a deal but I didn't say a word
      G                              C
Three months into my sentence that's when I finally heard
         Em                     D                     Em
'bout my darlin' Jerry Lynn and what they done to her

Em                                 D
They took me to the office and the warden sat me down
   G                                 C
He told me that our trailer had been burned down to the ground
    Em                           D                  Em
The car was in the river but her body was not found

C G D G Em D Em

Em                           D
I haven't told nobody what I know for seven years
G                          C
Tomorrow at eleven I'll be walking out of here
Em                             D                   Em
Walking through the valley but I ain't got no fear

Em                              D
Tell Montgomery and Alomar that I'll be stopping by
G                                   C
Tell 'em Hell is coming there ain't nowhere they can hide
       Em                                D                            Em
And if Jerry Lynn is out there somewhere tell her please don't cry...

      C          G
Jerry Lynn Jerry Lynn
     D                                 G
When I found you I thought I'd finally win
           Em                 D
Now you're gone Gone like the wind
      Em

     D                                 G
When I found you I thought I'd finally win
           Em                 D
Now you're gone Gone like the wind
      Em
Jerry Lynn
               Em                 D
I guess you're gone just like the wind
      Em
