Intro:

E

Verse 1:

  E        A               E     B7    E
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair
E            A      E   F#7      B7
Borne like a vapor, on the summer's air
E         A                  E      B7      E
I see her tripping where the bright streams play
F#7                       B7    F#7    B7
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way

B7                           E
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour
A             E                 F#7          B7
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er
  E        A               E     B7    E
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair
A             E               F#7   B7    E
Floating, like a vapor on the soft summer air

Verse 2:

  E        A               E   B7    E
I long for Jeanie with the day dawn smile
E          A         E    F#7      B7
Radiant in gladness, warm winning guile
E          A             E     B7   E
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by
F#7                             B7    F#7    B7
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die

B7                              E
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain
A          E             F#7         B7
Wailing for the lost one that comes, comes not again
  E        A             E     B7   E
I long for Jeanie and my heart bows low
A            E                  F#7    B7     E
Nevermore to find her where the bright waters flow
