Chords

[Intro] E A (2x) [Verse 1]
        E                       A
It was when I rode off in my daydream

   E                     A
Chasing that vision of light

        E                        A
It was then I got caught in the jet stream

         E                            A
And I dropped through a hole in the night

        D                       F#m
Then I knew it's not you that I run from

       A           B     C#m
I saw each of us living alone

        D                                F#m
And I prayed that you'd still could be waiting

      A              B        C#m       B
And that's when I started for home
[Chorus]
E      E7    A     F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

C#m7            B       B A F#m
Oh my Jenny my love

E      E7    A     F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

 B                   A      E B
You are my rainbow above
[Verse 2]
        E                      A
I have seen a great city in darkness

       E                      A
Dream lady dressed in cold concrete

     E                      A
And I've seen the city of angels

           E                         A
With the names of its dead in the streets

         D                      F#m
And for once I could see it all your way

         A          B          C#m
And for once I knew I was all wrong

         D                        F#m
And I thought of you there in my doorway

       A                B          C#m    B
And I knew I'd been travellin' too long
[Chorus]
E      E7    A     F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

C#m7            B       B A F#m
Oh my Jenny my love

E      E7    A     F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

 B                   A      E B
You are my rainbow above
[Verse 3]
          E                           A
When I crossed to the heart of the country

       E                    A
I was lost in a forest of signs

         E                          A
And I laughed 'cause life gets so funny

             E                     A
Here I was wasted from wastin' my time

         D                       F#m
So now shine down you sun on my shadow

   A            B           C#m
Without you I don't mean a thing

      D                    F#m
And gather me one golden morning babe

             A             B         C#m    B
'Cause it's your song that I need to sing
[Chorus]
E      E7    A     F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

C#m7            B       B A F#m
Oh my Jenny my love

E      E7    A     F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny

 B                   A      E B
You are my rainbow above
