JENNY LIND

Composed by Brother Sun

(G)Jenny was a famous Swedish (Gmaj7)nightingale
Considered in her (G7)day to be one of the (C)greats
And yet (Am)it can be (D)read that her (Am)music teacher (D)said,
(Em)"Jenny, (B7)you're lacking just one (Em7)thing". (A)-(Am)-(D) She said,
(G)"What could it be, I am (Gmaj7)ready can't you see,
I have (G7)talent and I practice all day (C)long".
He said, (Am)"Yes, I know it's (D)so, but there's (Am)one thing you should (D)know,
Come (Em)closer dear, let me (B7)whisper in your (Em7)ear" (A)-(Am)-(D)

Chorus One:
You've got (G)everything it (Fmaj7)takes to make a sta(E7)r,
But (Am)first you've got to (E7)have a broken (Am7)heart,
(D)To sing a (Em)song that is (Em7b)real,
A (Em7)song that you can (Em6)feel way down (Am)in your soul (D)

Well, (G)Jenny fell in love with her (Gmaj7)music teacher friend,
And it (G7)looked as though their love would never (C)end,
But (Am)then there came the (D)day, and he (Am)had to go a(D)way
And her (Em)heart was broken and her (B7)tears began to (Em7)flow,
(A)-(Am)-(D)Jenny (G)wept upon her bed, she re(Gmaj7)membered what he said
And now the (G7)words he spoke seemed to come a(C)live,
Some(Am)how he seemed to (D)know, some(Am)day he'd have to (D)go
And (Em)only then could the (B7)nightingale (Em7)fly (A)-(Am)-(D)

[Repeat Chorus One]

Bridge:
(Em)Jenny's songs be(B7)came her (G)very own heart (A)cry,
Not (C)just a word (G)collection but a (Am7)very true ex(D)pression

Chorus Two:
You may have (G)everything it (Fmaj7)takes to make a sta(E7)r,
But (Am)first you've got to (E7)have a broken (Am7)heart,
(D)To sing a (Em)song that is (Em7b)real,
A (Em7)song that you can (Em6)feel way down (Am)in your soul (D)

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
