Jenny Teclado

	  (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.
