[Style: Acoustic Rock, Folk Rock, Storytelling] [Instrumentation: Clean Guitar, Basic Drum Beat, Simple Percussion] [Tempo: Medium-Slow] [Verse 1] Mister, penny for your thoughts You look so far away It must be nice to drift that way [Verse 2] Maybe it's a lady you’re missing My, I hope not You see I've been watching you Well you don't seem impressed [Verse 3] Jenny is my name And pleasure is my game And I keep a tidy home [Chorus] And I was good once as I ever once was 'bout as good as one night should be But not really quite as good as in years gone by Yes I'm as good once as I ever once was 'bout as good as one night should be But not really quite as good as in years gone by [Interlude] Time fly now Well time fly [Verse 4] Actually I was thinking You see it helps me to relax a bit I'd just eaten dinner in Paris And I walked along the shore, summers eve [Verse 5] Well Jacob is my name And the butcher is my trade Yet I haven't seen work For quite some time [Chorus] And I'm not as good as I once was Or as good as one night should be Yet I haven't really thought about it in a long, long time No I'm not as good as I once was Or as good as one night should be Yet I haven't really thought about it in a long, long time [Interlude] It's been a long time Been a long time now Been a long time [Verse 6] But I could use some conversation If you care to stay a while That'd be fine Jacob, she said But not here [Verse 7] So they walked for a while And they spoke that little truth You see there's no need to lie When talking to a stranger [Verse 8] Yeah Jacob had been a butcher For some twenty-two and a half years Until in times when there was difficulty And so little business [Verse 9] And Jenny she was a housewife For only three years When her man had been killed In a political battle [Bridge] Now when Jacob heard this He looked at Jenny And he called out Yes he called out [Chorus] Jenny this world It's a private affair For those out there For those with the power Oh Jenny this world It's a private affair For those out there For those with the power [Break] That may be so Jacob But if it wasn't for ones like you and I They'd not be there now [Simple Guitar Solo] [Refrain] Ain't no sense to bitch about it ‘cause you all know what's gone wrong Late at night, when you’re in your bed, the bad don't seem so wrong There ain't no sense to bitch about it ‘cause you all know what's gone wrong Late at night, when you’re in your bed, the bad don't seem so wrong [Refrain] There ain't no sense to bitch about it ‘cause you all know what's gone wrong When it's late at night, and you’re in your bed, the bad don't seem so wrong There ain't no sense to bitch about it ‘cause you all know what's gone wrong When it's late at night, and you’re in your bed, the bad don't seem so wrong [Post-Refrain] So damn wrong So damn wrong [Bridge 2] You know it seems I've been fighting since the day I was born but I know that I can move on And it looks like I'll be fighting till the day that I die but I don't let it Bring me down [Bridge 2] It seems I've been fighting since the day I was born but I know that I can Move on And it looks like I'll be fighting till the day that I die but I don't let it Bring me down [Simple Guitar Solo] [Outro] There ain't no sense to bitch about it ‘cause you all know what's gone wrong When it's late at night, and you’re in your bed, the bad don't seem so wrong There ain't no sense to bitch about it ‘cause you all know what's gone wrong When it's late at night, and you’re in your bed, the bad don't seem so wrong There ain't no sense to bitch about it ‘cause you all know what's gone wrong When it's late at night, and you’re in your bed, the bad don't seem so wrong [Fade Out]
