D#m
Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy
C#
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound
B
Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty
    C#
The kind that a rich man can't turn down
    D#m
She caught the eye of an oil man dancing
C#
One summer night in a dime store dress
B
She had the looks, he had the mansion
C#
And you can figure out the rest

D#m
He was all roses, dripping in diamonds,
sipping on champagne
She was all uptown, wearing that white gown,
                 C#
taking his last name

Chorus:
                       B
She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
F#                       D#m
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing,
singing
C#                              B
Fold your hands and close your eyes
                           F#
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
                        D#m
And just listen to the church bells ringing,
ringing
C#               D#m
Yeah, they're ringing

Jenny was hosting Junior League parties
And havin' dinner at the country club
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie
But Ken was always gettin' way too drunk
Saturday night, after a few too many
He came home ready to fight
And all his money could never save Jenny
From the devil livin' in his eyes

It was all bruises, covered in makeup
Dark sunglasses
And that next morning, sitting in the back pew
Praying with the baptist

Chorus:
She could hear those church bells ringin', ringin'
And up in the loft, that whole choir singin',
singin'
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
You just listen to the church bells ringin', ringin'
Yeah, they're ringin'

Jenny slipped somethin' in his Tennessee whiskey
No law man was ever gonna find
And how he died is still a mystery
But he hit a woman for the very last time

Chorus:
She could hear those church bells ringin', ringin'
Standin' there in a black dress singin', singin'
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
And just listen to the church bells ringin', ringin'
Yeah, they're ringin
