[Chorus]
         F#
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry
           D#m
It's not a hot day in January
         B
Like she said it'd be
C#                 D#m
If she ever left me
          F#
A case of gone was all she carried
       D#m
As she got on the Jamestown Ferry
        B
And she said that gone
C#                   F#
was all she'd ever be


[Verse 1]
         F#
I didn't think that she'd leave me
      D#m
After sayin' how much she need me
        B
But the fact still remains
    C#
I'm sittin' here all alone
            F#
Missin' the lovin' of my baby
           D#m
Lord, it's about to drive me crazy
            B                 C#                    F#
She was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known


[Chorus]
         F#
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry
           D#m
It's not a hot day in January
         B
Like she said it'd be
C#                 D#m
If she ever left me
          F#
A case of gone was all she carried
       D#m
As she got on the Jamestown Ferry
        B
And she said that gone
C#                   F#
was all she'd ever be


[Verse 2]
     F#
As I walk through that valley
   D#m
Of honky tonks and bars
  B
I remember how she'd hold me
    C#
And comfort me with talk
           F#
She didn't cuss with every breath
          D#m
She had a soothing southern drawl
        B           C#                F#
Made me feel like a man through it all


[Outro]
         F#
She just caught the Jamestown Ferry
           D#m
It's not a hot day in January
         B
Like she said it'd be
C#                  D#m
If she ever left me
