Intro:
E MajorE A augmentedA (2x)


Verse 1:
    E MajorE            A augmentedA
It was when I rode off in my daydream
  E MajorE           A augmentedA
Chasing that vision of light
    E MajorE            A augmentedA
It was then I got caught in the jet stream
     E MajorE              A augmentedA
And I dropped through a hole in the night
    D MajorD            F# minorF#m
Then I knew it's not you that I run from
    A augmentedA      BB   C# minorC#m
I saw each of us living alone
    D MajorD                F# minorF#m
And I prayed that you'd still could be waiting
   A augmentedA       BB    C# minorC#m    BB
And that's when I started for home

Chorus:
E MajorE   E7E7  A augmentedA   F#m7F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
C#m7C#m7      BB    BB A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Oh my Jenny my love
E MajorE   E7E7  A augmentedA   F#m7F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
 BB          A augmentedA   E MajorE BB
You are my rainbow above


Verse 2:
    E MajorE           A augmentedA
I have seen a great city in darkness
    E MajorE           A augmentedA
Dream lady dressed in cold concrete
   E MajorE           A augmentedA
And I've seen the city of angels
      E MajorE             A augmentedA
With the names of its dead in the streets
     D MajorD           F# minorF#m
And for once I could see it all your way
     A augmentedA     BB     C# minorC#m
And for once I knew I was all wrong
     D MajorD            F# minorF#m
And I thought of you there in my doorway
    A augmentedA        BB     C# minorC#m  BB
And I knew I'd been travellin' too long

Chorus:
E MajorE   E7E7  A augmentedA   F#m7F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
C#m7C#m7      BB    BB A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Oh my Jenny my love
E MajorE   E7E7  A augmentedA   F#m7F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
 BB          A augmentedA   E MajorE BB
You are my rainbow above

Verse 3:
     E MajorE              A augmentedA
When I crossed to the heart of the country
    E MajorE          A augmentedA
I was lost in a forest of signs
     E MajorE             A augmentedA
And I laughed 'cause life gets so funny
       E MajorE           A augmentedA
Here I was wasted from wastin' my time
     D MajorD            F# minorF#m
So now shine down you sun on my shadow
  A augmentedA      BB      C# minorC#m
Without you I don't mean a thing
   D MajorD          F# minorF#m
And gather me one golden morning babe
       A augmentedA       BB     C# minorC#m  BB
'Cause it's your song that I need to sing

Chorus:
E MajorE   E7E7  A augmentedA   F#m7F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
C#m7C#m7      BB    BB A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Oh my Jenny my love
E MajorE   E7E7  A augmentedA   F#m7F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
 BB          A augmentedA   E MajorE BB
You are my rainbow above
