(Intro.)
|(D) / / / |(D) / / / |
|(D) (A)(Bm)(D) (A)(Bm)|(D) (A)(Bm)(D) (A)(Bm)|
|(D) (A)(Bm)(D) (A)(Bm)|(D) (A)(Bm)(D)

(Verse)
Stuck be-(G)hind a chicken truck, my baby (A)sleeping in the back
(D)Driving out the demons as the feathers blow on past
(G)Burning up the sky, two (A)crackers in the summertime
(D)Dwelling on the cage while life flies by
(D)“Roll Jordan roll, (G)roll Jordan roll, roll Jordan roll!”

(Chorus)
(C)Action Jackson all the way to that (D)Mississippi town
Where (G)Medgar Evers haunts me, I swear he (C)follows me around
(C)Saw him riding with Christ's Calvary and the (D)horses and the hounds
Singing “(G)Joy is thy victory!” at the re-(C)vival picnic ground
“(Em)Death where is thy sting to be (D)found!”

(Verse)
“Sixteen (G)miles to that Memphis jail,” the sheriff (A) tells mе with a smile
He said, “I (D)made a hundrеd trips, it’s quiet, I'm bored right now.”
Miss (C)Drew got down, (G)dancing with James Brown
She said, “In (D)‘63, I was a society queen.”
They say, (C) “Everything is fine,” two crackers (G)giving me the low down
But if it's (D)trouble they want, it’s trouble they will find
“(D)Roll Jordan roll, (G)roll Jordan roll
Papa's got a brand new bag” (G) (A)(Bm)

(Chorus)
(C)Action Jackson all the way to (Em)that (D)Tennessee town
Where (G)Martin Luther haunts me, I swear he (C)follows me around
Singing, “Death (Em) where is thy sting to be (D)found!” / / / |(D) / / / |

(Verse)
(Ab)Dream little child, (C)(Eb) (Bb)dream until you can't
(Eb)Caped crusaders and hapless chance
(Db)Don't get caught (Gb)squandering the good times
(Eb)Dwelling on the cage while life flies by
“(Eb)Roll Jordan roll, (Ab)roll Jordan roll, (Bb)roll Jordan roll!”

(Chorus)
(C)Action Jackson all the (C)way (Em)to that (D)Mississippi town
Where (G)Medgar Evers haunts me, I (B)swear (D)he (C)follows me around

Singing “(G)Joy is thy victory!” at the re-(C)vival picnic ground
“(Em)Death where is thy sting to be (D)found!”

(D) I open my (G)window, (Bm)Spring is (F)on the (Em)bloom
I'm (C)burying the bones, (Bm) I'm coming home, (A) make me some (G)room
