Irma Jackson C I'd love to shout my feelin's from a mountain high G7 Tell the world I love her and I will till I die There's no way the world will understand that love is colour blind C That's why Irma Jackson can't be mine I remember when no one cared about us bein' friends We were only children and it really didn't matter then But we grew up too quickly in a world that draws a line Where they say Irma Jackson can't be mine Chorus: F If my lovin' Irma Jackson is a sin G7 Then I don't understand this crazy world we're livin' in There's a muddy wall between us standin' high C But I'll love Irma Jackson till I die She tells me she's decided that she'll go away And I guess it's right but she alone should have the final say But in spite of her decision forcin' us to say goodbye I'll still love Irma Jackson till I die Chorus
