• G

(Verse1)

  G
Jenny left home at thirteen.
  C                    D
Jenny left home at thirteen.
       G                 D
Mama's men and all their fights,
 EM                            C
an' warring? shadows late at night.
 G         D       G
Jenny left home at thirteen.

(Verse2)

  G
Jenny met Ray on the streets.
  C                    D
Jenny met Ray on the streets.
       G                  D
And though she learned to dodge his fist, 
         EM           C
he's the only man she kissed.
G         D          G
Jenny met Ray on the streets.

(chorus)

G    D    EM
Time goes by...
    C                G
She wonders who's to blame
G    D    EM
Time goes by...
        C             G
Another shot into the vein that takes her back
G  D   EM
to the time
         C             Aadd9 (continued)
when her mama held her closely to her breast

stroked her hair right through the night

before the world turned its back with all it's judgement and denial

               G        D     EM
No don't you take her for a fool.
          C        G     D
Don't you take her for a fool.
             G               D
She may have been around the block,
        EM             C
but she walkin' on the top.
          G        D     G
Don't you take her for a fool.

(Verse3)

G
Jenny has a friend named Morphine.
C                        G
Jenny has a friend named Morphine.
         G                  D
An' when things are looking down,
            EM          C
and there's no one else around.
G           D            G
Jenny has a friend named Morphine.

(Verse4)

G
Jenny can't remember her real name.
C                             G
Jenny can't remember her real name.
       G        D
It was so long ago,
            EM                 C
and now the memory's just gone cold.
G           D            G
Jenny can't remember her real name

(chorus)

G
Jenny's getting ready for the night.
C                             D             
Jenny's getting ready for the night.
               G                   D
She paints her lips and rolls the dice.
        EM              C
Now the shadows pay the price.
G               D             G
Jenny's getting ready for the night.
               G                   D
She paints her lips and rolls the dice.
        EM              C
Now the shadows pay the price.
G               D             G
Jenny's getting ready for the night.

(chrous)
             G               D
She may have been around the block,
        EM             C
but she walkin' on the top.
          G        D     G
Don't you take her for a fool.
