Sweet Jane
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Anyone who's ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
Anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and break it
Sweet Jane -2x
Ah, sweet, sweet Jane
Waited for Jimmy down in the alley
Waited there for him to come back home
Waited down on the corner
Thinking of ways to get back home
Sweet Jane -2x
Ah, sweet, sweet Jane
Anyone who's ever had a dream
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone who's ever been lonely
Anyone who's ever split apart
Sweet Jane -2x
Ah, sweet, sweet Jane
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to me
When you smile
Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to me
When you smile
La, la, la, la...
Sweet Jane
