Released on February 9th 2004, "Jacqueline" is the opening track from Franz
Ferdinand's debut homonym album. The song's intro goes in crescendo to
reach bright and rhythmic verses. The harmonies walk around 3 chords, making
it a very easy song.

[Cm]Jacqueline was seventeen
Working on a desk when[Ab] Ivor peered above a s[Bb]pectacle
Forgot that he had wrecked a girl
[Cm] Sometimes these [Ab]eyes forget the face they're [Bb]peering from
When the face they peer upon
[G] Well, you know that face as [Cm]I do
And how in the re[Ab]turn of the gaze
She can re[Bb]turn you the face
That you are s[Cm]taring from
