Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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
