Her whole world's come undone,
      F               Gm7   Csus4

She ain't never gonna be the same

Chorus:
Janie's got a gun,  Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun,
now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue,
what did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby,
the man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under,
the lightning and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain

C#        D#                Fm7
Run away, run away from the pain,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
C#        D#                Fm7
Run away, run away from the pain,
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah

Run away, run away, run, run away

Chorus:
Janie's got a gun,  Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun,
now everybody's on the run
What did her daddy do?
it's Janie's last I.O.U
She had to take him down easy,
and put a bullet in his brain
She said cos nobody believes me,
the man was such a sleaze
He ain't never gonna be the same

Run away, run away from the pain,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain,
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Chorus:
Janie's got a gun,  Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun, everybody's on the run - x3
