Janie's got a gun, Janies got a gun
F Gm7 Csus4 F Gm7 Csus4
Her whole world's come undone, from looking straight at the sun
F Bb C F Bb C
What did her daddy do? What did he put you through?
Dm(add9)
They said when Janie was arrested,
Bb(add#11) F. F5. Eb5/F. Ab5/F. Eb5/F. F5
They found him underneath a train,
Dm(add9) Bb(add#11)
But man he had it coming, now that Janie's got a gun
Gm7 C F/C C7..
She ain't never gonna be the same
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
Db Eb Fm7
Run away, Run away from the pain, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah
Db Eb Fm7 Eb5/F Fm7
Run away, Run away from the pain, Yeah, yeah, Yeah Yeahyeah Yeah, yeah
Db Eb Bbm Csus4
Run away, run away, run,run away.............................
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 aint never gonna be the same
Run away, run away from the pain, Yeah yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah
Run away, run away,from the pain yeah, yeah, yeahyeah yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away...........................

Janie's got a gun, everybody's on the run. (rpt ad lib)

| Awesome song, I loved it when it first came out and I was only a kid. It has a darker sound and meaning that other Aeorosmith songs, very unique song. Love it And it's pretty obvious what it's about. | |

| This song deals with some very controversial issues. Hopefully it has waken some people up and made them realize that it's not such a peaceful world we live in. | |

| This song is about a girl being sexually abused by her father and eventually killing him. I don't know if it's true, but I heard that this song was written by Steven Tyler in response to many survivors' groups getting angry at the video for the song Ragdoll. | |

| This song seems pretty sad. I think it might have to do with physical abuse or something. I LOVE Aerosmith- I'm just not that big on this song. | |

| Great song. Janie's awesome for taking things into her owns hands to save her from the abusive father...even if she did kill him but "the man was such a sleaze." | |

| Steven Tyler wrote this song after reading aricles in some magazine. The article was about trouble in the world and included both child abuse and gun control. These stories are what inspired him to write this song. | |

| no i wouldnt take it, but i was slightly cynically amused by wildflower's claim that it was about her...listening to the song paints a rather negative picture - considering it is about child abuse and the consequences of it. And how the hell am I harsh? I sincerely doubt that wildflower can relate to any of the (fictional) events portrayed in this song, although I do wholeheartedly apologise for my seriously derogatory comments if this happens to be the case... | |
