Poor Jenny [Version 1] Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I[D]
[G]took my little Jenny
to a [Em]party last night
At [Eb]ten o'clock it ended in a[Cm]
heckuva fight
[Ab]When someone hit my Jenny she
went [G]out like a [Em]light[A]
Poor [D]Jenny

[Verse 2]
And [G]then some joker went and called
[Em]the cops on the phone
So [Eb]everybody scattered
out for [Cm]places unknown
I [Ab]couldn't carry Jenny so I
[G]left her [Em]alone[A][D]
Poor [G]Jenny

[Verse 3]
Well [G]Jenny had her [F]picture in
the [G]paper this [F]mornin'
[G]She[C] made it with a bang
Ac[A]cordin' to [Em]the story in
the pa[A]per this mornin'
[D]Jenny is the leader of a teenage gang

[Verse 4]
[G]Jenny has a brother and
he's hot [Em]on my trail
Her [Eb]daddy wants to ride
me out of [Cm]town on a rail
I hope [Ab]I'll be around when Jenny
gets [G]out of [Em]jail[A][D]

[Interlude 1]
Poor Jenny
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
I went [G]downtown to see her, she
was locked [Em]in a cell
She was[Eb]n't very glad to see me,
that [Cm]I could tell
In fact, [Ab]to tell the truth,
she wasn't look[G]in' too [Em]well[A]
[D]Poor Jenny

[Verse 6]
Her eye [G]was black, her face was red,
her hair [Em]was a fright
She looked [Eb]as though she'd been
a'cryin' half [Cm]of the night
[Ab]I told her I was sorry,
she said "Get [G]out [Em]of sight"[A][D]
Poor [G]Jenny

[Verse 7]
[G]It seems a shame that [F]Jenny had to [G]go get apprehended,
[C]a hec[F]kuva fate
This [A]party was the [Em]first [G]one
she [A]ever had attended
[D]It had to happen on our very first date

[Verse 8]
[G]Jenny has a brother and
he's [Em]hot on my trail
Her [Eb]daddy wants to ride
me out of [Cm]town on a rail
I [Ab]hope I'll be around when Jenny
[G]gets out [Em]of jail[A][D]

[Outro 1]
