Jenny
      Am
Jenny you don't know the nights I hide
C
below a second story room
                G
to whistle you down
G
the man who's let to divvy up
time is a miser
Am
he's got a silver coin
                        C
only lets it shine for hours
while you sleep it away
 
G            D
there's one rare and odd style of living
Am               G                D
part only known to the everybody Jenny
a comical where's the end parade
          Am         G
of the sort people here would think unusual
 
D
Jenny
C             G                  D

far off we sail on to Back O' The Moon

Jenny
      Am
Jenny you don't know the days I've tried
C
telling backyard tales
G
so to maybe amuse
G
o your mood is never giddy
if you smile I'm delighted
Am
but you'd rather pout
              C
such a lazy child
you dare fold your arms
                   G
tisk and say that I lie
 
G              D
there's one rare and odd style of thinking
Am              G                 D

           Am         G
got the head start in the race toward it

Dm
that was a sigh
                   C
but not meant to envy you
Dm
when your age was mine
some things were sworn true
C
morning would come
       Bb
and calendar pages had
Am
new printed seasons on
                  G
their opposite sides
