[Intro]
Bm    A    x2
[Strophe]
Bm 
Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy     
A 
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound     
G 
Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty     
    A 
The kind that a rich man can't turn down     
    Bm 
She caught the eye of an oil man dancing     
A 
One summer night in a dime store dress     
G 
She had the looks, he had the mansion     
A 
And you can figure out the rest  
[Pre-Refrain]
Bm 
He was all roses, dripping in diamonds, sipping on champagne     
Bm                                                           A 
She was all uptown, wearing that white gown, taking his last name    
[Refrain]
                     G 
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing     
D                        Bm 
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing     
A                               G 
Fold your hands and close your eyes     
                          D 
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright     
                       Bm 
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing     
A                Bm 
Yeah, they're ringing   
[Strophe]
Bm 
Jenny was hosting Junior League parties     
A 
And having dinner at the country club     
G 
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie     
A 
But Ken was always getting way too drunk     
Bm 
Saturday night, after a few too many     
A 
He came home ready to fight     
G 
And all his money could never save Jenny     
A 
From the devil living in his eyes  
[Pre-Refrain]
Bm 
It was all bruises, covered in makeup, dark sunglasses     
Bm                                                               A 
And that next morning, sitting in the back pew, praying with the baptist
[Refrain]
                     G 
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing     
D                        Bm 
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing     
A                               G 
Fold your hands and close your eyes     
                          D 
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright     
                       Bm 
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing     
A                G      Bm   G    Bm   G 
Yeah, they're ringing  
[Strophe]
Bm 
Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey     
A 
No law man was ever gonna find     
G 
And how he died is still a mystery     
A 
But he hit a woman for the very last time  
[Refrain]
                     G 
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing     
D                        Bm 
Standing there in a black dress singing, singing     
A                               G 
Fold your hands and close your eyes     
                          D 
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright     
                       Bm 
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing     
A             Bm 
Yeah, they're ringing
