Stephen Foster 1854 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanie_with_the_Light_Brown_Hair [Verse 1]
  G        C               G     C     G
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,

Em            G  C   G      A7     D7
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air

  G       C                  G      C       G
I see her tripping where the bright streams play,

A7           D   Em       D     A7     D
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.

D7                          G
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour,

C             G            G7   Bm            D7
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er:

      G        C               G     C     G
Oh! I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,

Am       Em     G  C   A           D7     G
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
[Verse 2]
   G       C               G   C    G
I long for Jeanie with the day dawn smile,

Em         G  C      G         A7     D7
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile;

  G        C              G      C  G     
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,

A7            D  Em             D    A7         D
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die:-

D7                              G
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,-

C                G            G7    Bm  D7
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again:

      G        C              G     C    G
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,

Am    Em      G    C   A         D7            G
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.
[Verse 3]
  G        C               G     C    G
I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed

Em           G    C      G         A7     D7
Far from the fond hearts round her native glade;

    G           C                G     C     G  
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,

A7            D   Em          D    A7             D
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone.

D7                               G 
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore

C                G            G7   Bm      D7
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more:

      G        C               G     C     G
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,

Am       Em     G  C   A           D7     G
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
