[Intro]
A A D A A D A A D E7
[Verse]
A F#m
I took my little Jenny to a party last night
F Dm
at ten o'clock it ended in a heck of a fight
Bb A F#m
when someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light
B7 E7
Poor Jenny!
A F#m
And then some joker went and called the cops on the phone
F Dm
so everybody scattered out for places unknown
Bb A F#m
I couldn't carry Jenny so I left her alone
B7 E7 A
Poor Jenny!
[Bridge]
A G A G A
Jenny had her picture in the paper this mor-ning
D
she made it with a bang!
B A B A B
according to the story in the paper this mor-ning
E NC E7
Jenny is the leader of a teen-age gang!
[Verse]
A F#m
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail
F Dm
her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail
Bb A F#m
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail
B7 E7 A
Poor Jenny!
[Break]
A A D A A D A A D E7
[Verse]
A F#m
I went downtown to see her she was locked in a cell
F Dm
she wasn't very glad to see me that I could tell
Bb A F#m
in fact to tell the truth she wasn't looking too well
B7 E7
Poor Jenny!
A F#m
Her eyes were black, her face was red, her hair was a fright
F Dm
She looked as though she'd been up crying half of the night
Bb A F#m
I told her I was sorry she said "Get outta sight"
B7 E7 A
Poor Jenny!
[Bridge]
A G A G A
It seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended
D
A heck of a fate
B A B A B
This party was the first one she ever had attended
E NC E7
It had to happen on our very first date
[Verse]
A F#m
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail
F Dm
her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail
Bb A F#m
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail
B7 E7 A
Poor Jenny!
