[Intro]
E7 A
[Verse 1]
A
I'd love to shout my feelings from a mountain high
E7
To tell the world I love her and I will 'til I die
E7
But we're living in a world that don't know love is colorblind
A
And that's why Irma Jackson can't be mine
[Verse 2]
A
I remember no one cared about us being friends
E7
We were only children and it really didn't matter then
E7
But we grew up too quickly in a world that draws a line
A A7
That tells me Irma Jackson can't be mine
[Chorus]
D
If loving Irma Jackson is a sin
E7
Then I don't understand this crazy world we're living in
E7
There's a mighty wall between us standing high
A
But I'll love Irma Jackson 'til I die
[Interlude]
E7 A
F7
[Verse 3]
A#
She tells me she's decided that she'll go away
F7
I guess it's right that she alone should have the final say
F7
But in spite of her decision, forcing us to say goodbye
A# A#7
I'll still love Irma Jackson 'til I die
[Chorus]
D#
If loving Irma Jackson is a sin
F7
Then I don't understand this crazy world we're living in
F7
There's a mighty wall between us standing high
A#
But I'll love Irma Jackson 'til I die
F7 A#
I'll love Irma Jackson 'til I die
