[Intro] E D A (2x) [Verse 1]
    E
(Aaaah)

           D                              A
Jenny was gone, and the moon blooms all shinin'

        E
As we dragged our panic up and down the riverbed

  D                                   A
Sweatin' wild and weird in our Sunday clothes
[Verse 2]
    E
(Aaaah)

           D                              A
Jenny was gone, though I thought that I knew her

          E
And the rain came howlin' out of Virginia

  D                                  A
Blue tick blowin' the water out her nose
[Verse 3]
   F#m
(Aaaah)

          D                          A
Jenny and me, in the front row and singin'

           E
'Bout how heaven calls the kingdom of the animals

D                               A
All and all revealed to us one day
[Verse 4]
   F#m
(Aaaah)

          D                        A
Jenny and me, on the hilltop and peekin'

             E
At all their upturned bottles jumpin' like leopards

D                                       A
Jaw harp teasin' the brush fire in its rage
[Instrumental] E D A (2x) [Verse 5]
    E
(Aaaah)

           D                              A
Jenny came back, and the wet road still shinin'

        E
In our eyes an angel clear and coronal

  D                                   A
Clothed in all that's prodigal and strange
[Verse 6]
    E
(Aaaah)

            D                           A
Jenny came back, and I thought that I heard her

        E
Murmur somethin' 'bout no men in Virginia

 D                                        A
Spat on the ground like a letter tossed away
[Verse 7]
   F#m
(Aaaah)

          D                         A
Jenny and me, in my dead truck and turnin'

                 E
Over just where heaven calls the kingdom of the animals

  D                                              A
Scratchin' our heads where the wolf would go to lay
[Verse 8]
   F#m
(Aaaah)

          D                             A
Jenny and me, as the moon blooms were closin'

          E
Both her wide-eyed brothers runnin' like shepherds

  D                                      A
Dreamin' the heat of the fields all in flames
