Kate Wolf - Jenny Wind


CAPO: 4th Fret


  A minorAm              E minorEm
Her father was a man who knew no fences
  A minorAm            E minorEm
Her mother was a woman of the trail
  A minorAm       E minorEm     FF
But Jenny Wind was born into a new world
G7G7         C majorC
When the white man came

A minorAm          E minorEm
Jenny was taught the old ways
    A minorAm              E minorEm
And she learned to speak her father's tongue
     FF            C majorC
When she died, she was one of the last ones
    G7G7          C majorC
And the earth covered up her bones


A minorAm          E minorEm
Jenny Wind was born a wild thing
 A minorAm            E minorEm
A augmentedA sister to coyote and the sun
     A minorAm     E minorEm    FF
But they gave her a dress of calico
     G7G7       C majorC
And they named her Jenny Wind


    A minorAm               E minorEm
But the white man's ways, they followed her
    A minorAm               E minorEm
She was buried 'neath a marker made of stone
      FF           C majorC
And on her grave they carved her pretty name
G7G7       F7F7      C majorC
"Here lies the Indian, Jenny Wind"


BRIDGE:
FF        G7G7     C majorC
But they say her soul flies free
FF       G7G7      C majorC
Caring for the weary and the lost
A minorAm           FF
In the forest deep and quiet
   G7G7            C majorC
All around the grave of Jenny Wind

A minorAm           E minorEm
I met Jenny on a summer night
A minorAm          E minorEm
Walking in the Placer County
 A minorAm       E minorEm      FF
I stumbled on her grave in the forest there
G7G7        C majorC
So all alone and still


 A minorAm              E minorEm
I wondered if she cared that I found her
A minorAm          E minorEm
Lying so hidden and alone
 FF                C majorC
I wondered who she was before they named her
   G7G7      C majorC
"The Indian, Jenny Wind"


  A minorAm          E minorEm
The silence grew till it touched me
  A minorAm               E minorEm
And held me like the words upon the stone
  A minorAm      E minorEm     FF
And for the first time I was afraid
G7G7           C majorC
I would not find my way home


 A minorAm               E minorEm
I ran from her as the night grew darker
 A minorAm               E minorEm
I dropped my glasses and I took a fall
     FF        C majorC
Lost and blind, somehow I found them
   G7G7           C majorC
Lying folded on her grave so small


BRIDGE:
   FF        G7G7     C majorC
And I believe that her soul flies free
    FF       G7G7      C majorC
And it cares for the weary and the lost
A minorAm           FF
In the forest deep and quiet
   G7G7            C majorC
