Intro:

E MajorE

Verse 1:

 E MajorE    A augmentedA        E MajorE   B7B7  E MajorE
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair
E MajorE      A augmentedA   E MajorE  F#7F#7   B7B7
Borne like a vapor, on the summer's air
E MajorE     A augmentedA         E MajorE   B7B7   E MajorE
I see her tripping where the bright streams play
F#7F#7            B7B7  F#7F#7  B7B7
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way

B7B7              E MajorE
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour
A augmentedA       E MajorE         F#7F#7     B7B7
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er
 E MajorE    A augmentedA        E MajorE   B7B7  E MajorE
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair
A augmentedA       E MajorE        F#7F#7  B7B7  E MajorE
Floating, like a vapor on the soft summer air

Verse 2:

 E MajorE    A augmentedA        E MajorE  B7B7  E MajorE
I long for Jeanie with the day dawn smile
E MajorE     A augmentedA     E MajorE  F#7F#7   B7B7
Radiant in gladness, warm winning guile
E MajorE     A augmentedA       E MajorE   B7B7  E MajorE
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by
F#7F#7               B7B7  F#7F#7  B7B7
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die

B7B7               E MajorE
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain
A augmentedA     E MajorE       F#7F#7     B7B7
Wailing for the lost one that comes, comes not again
 E MajorE    A augmentedA       E MajorE   B7B7  E MajorE
I long for Jeanie and my heart bows low
A augmentedA      E MajorE         F#7F#7  B7B7   E MajorE
Nevermore to find her where the bright waters flow
