Lyrics

Jen ny (D5)grew up wild like a black foot dai sy, (Am)out in the shack with a blue tick hound.

(Bb)Broke as hell, but blessed with beau ty, the (C)kind that a rich man can’t turn down.

(Dm)She caught the eye of an oil man, danc ing (Am)one sum mer night in a dime store dress.

(Bb)She had the looks, he had the man sion, and you can fig ure out the rest.

It was all ros es, drip ping in dia monds, sip ping on cham pagne.

She was all up town, wear ing that the white gown, tak ing his the last name.

She could hear those (Bb)church bells ring ing, ring ing,

and up in the loft, that (Dm)whole choir sing ing, (F)sing ing.

Fold your hands and close your eyes.

Yeah, it’s all gon na be all right.

And just lis ten to the (Dm)church bells ring ing, (F)ring ing.

Yeah, they’re ring ing.

(Dm)Jen ny was host ing Jun ior League par ties and hav ing din ner at the coun try club.

(Bb)Ev ’ry one thought they were Ken and Bar bie, but Ken was al ways get ting way too drunk.

(Dm)Sat ur day night, af ter a few too man y, (C)he came home read y to fight.

And (Bb)all his mon ey could nev er save Jen ny from the dev il liv ing in his eyes.

It was all

Yeah, they’re ring ing.

(Dm)Jen ny slipped some thing in his Ten nes see Whis key (Am)no law man was ev er gon na find.

She could hear those (Bb)church bells ring ing, ring ing,

Fold your hands and close your eyes.

Yeah, it’s all gon na be all right.

And just lis ten to the (Dm)church bells ring ing, ring ing.

Yeah, they’re (CN.C.)ring ing.

Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?

Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
