[Verse 1]
D                      G         A
 See me sitting in the palmtree

D                       G           A
 Looking down at people passing by

D                        G         A
 Sitting here no-one can harm me

D                          G            A
 They just stare at me and wonder why
[Bridge]
           D                 A7
No need to bother, I'm gonna stay up here

         D                    A7
Whatever happens, I won't let no-one near

          D        E                    A               A7
Until you tell me, Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind, won't you please

           D        E                        A             A7
You really love me, Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now
[Pre-Chorus]
           Em                F#
And in the evening, when the sun goes down

            Bm        E
I'll be the bluest of men in this town
[Refrain]
         D         G              A    | D | G A | D | G A | 
'cause I love you, Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
[Verse 2]
D                      G       A
 See me sitting in the palmtree

D                         G           A
 Waiting for those little words from you

D                             G       A
 People laugh and point their fingers

D                    G         A
 Like I was a monkey at the zoo
[Bridge]
           D                   A7
But I will stay here, among my coconuts

            D                 A7
So you will know dear, you're everything I've got
[Refrain]
              D        G              A7    D
Now won't you tell me, Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
[Middle 8]
Am                                         G
Winds blow, stars glow, I see a light in a window

Gm                       C9                  A13 A7
Dark trees, soft breeze, carry my message to her please
[Verse 3]
D                      G       A
 See me sitting in the palmtree

D                     G       A
 Getting angry at the silly crowd

D                        G       A
 No-one else but you can calm me

D                           G       A
 You should know by now I'm far too proud
[Bridge]
          D                     A7
I need to show you, I've got my feelings too

              D                 A7
You shouldn't treat me like you always do

             D        E                    A7
So won't you tell me, Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind, won't you please

           D        E                        A7
You really love me, Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine, yes you are now
[Pre-Chorus]
           Em                F#
And in the evening, when the sun goes down

            Bm        E
I'll be the bluest of men in this town
[Refrain]
         D         G              A7    D 
'cause I love you, Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind
[Outro]
G              A7        D
Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine

G              A7        D
Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind

G              A7        D
Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine

G              A7        D
Jeanie, Jeanie on my mind

G              A7        D
Jeanie, Jeanie you're so fine
