Tom Paxton – Jennifers Rabbit (Guitar)

Am
Jennifer slept in her little bed

     G                                Am
With dreams of a rabbit in her little head.

Am                                  G
Jennifer's rabbit, brown and white, left the house and ran away one night

Am                          G
Along with the turtle and a kangaroo

    Am                         G    Am       E         Am
And seventeen monkeys from the city zoo, and Jennifer too.

     Dm                              Am
They ran through the forest and they all held hands.

     G                          Am
They came to the ocean with the cookie crumb sands.

Dm                       Am
Called it the sea of the very best dreams,

                                   G        Am
And they all built a castle of the best moonbeams.

    E         Am
And milky way streams.

     Am
And there on the sand where the starfish play,

     G
The ship sailed in from the moonbeam bay,

         Am                       G
And they all went sailing on the starlight sea

           Am                   G      Am
Where they all had cookies with oolong tea,

    E          Am
And Jenny had three.

      Dm                         Am
They danced on the decks of the red-sailed brig;

     G                            Am
The monkeys and the sailors did a whirling jig.

  Dm                              Am
Turtle played the fiddle and the rabbit played kazoo,

                                G         Am
And they bowed to each other as polite folks do.

     E           Am
And Jenny bowed too.

       Am
Then, "My!" said the turtle as the clock struck three,

      G
"The hour is growing very late for me."

        Am                               G
"Not at all," said the rabbit, "And I'll tell you why,

   Am                           G          Am
We still haven't counted every star in the sky."

      E            Am
Said Jenny, "Let's try."

         Dm                           Am
So they counted on the ship and they counted on the shore;

      G                                Am
They counted through the forest to the bedroom door.

       Dm                           Am
They counted in bed till they could count no more,

                                   G     Am
Then they all fell asleep and the final score

      E            Am
Was a trillion and four.

         Dm                            Am
Yes, the rabbit and the turtle and the kangaroo,

                           G            Am
And Jenny fell asleep like sleepy folks do,

E         Am    Asus2    A
Just like you.
