[D] I guess you know [A] Jethro went [D] crazy, We've all been [A] crazy
some [D] time, [D7] they [G] fixed up his lungs and his [D] fever [Bm], oh
but [E]they could not fix up his [A]mind, He [D]married a [A]beautiful
red[D]head, of [D7]women they say she's a [G]pearl, she gave her heart to
[D]Jethro[Bm], and her [D]body to the [A]whole damn [D]world.
[D]Now Jethro had [A]someone to [D]talk to, they were monsters and [A]
little green [D]men, [D7] [G]He never talked to his [D]woman [Bm], no he
[E]spent all his time with his [A]friends, In the [D]evenings she'd [A]drive
off and [D] leave him, she'd [D7]toss back her long pretty [G]curls, she
gave her heart to [D]Jethro, [Bm]and her [D]body to the [A]whole damn
[D]world.
[D]Some friends came and [A]begged her to [D]leave him, they said Jethro
[A]belongs in a [D]home, [D7]she [G]said my heart is [D]Jethro's[Bm], but my
[E]God given body is my [A]own, Now [D]some of her [A] lovers were
[D]strangers, she gave every[D7]body new [G]worlds, she gave her heart to
[D]Jethro[Bm], and her [D]body to the [A]whole damn [D]world.
[D]I know some will con[A]demn me for [D]writing this song of a [A]man and
his [D]wife, [D7]but a [G]man's not writing if [D]he can't re[Bm]late, all
the [E]things that he sees in his [A]life, I know [D]some will con[A]demn me
for [D]cursing, but [D7]much can be said for this [G]girl, who gave her
heart to [D]Jethro[Bm], and her [D]body to the [A]whole damn [D]world.
