Jenny Jenkins by Mt. Joy
Jenny Jenkins
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 1st fret
Key: G
Note: This isn't exactly how Mt. Joy plays the song live (I think they use a different tuning), but the chord
sounds match up to the recording on the album. Works well for an acoustic accompaniment.
[Intro]
G Em C D
[Verse]
G Em
We don't come down, we just stay up all year
C D
Counting our vices dear, and the shit that got us here
G Em
When I loved you didn't it have to be a language
C D
No written rules or commandments, it was enough to be alive
[Pre-Chorus]
G
One by one, two by two
C
Miss Jenny Jenkins
Em
You know I wouldn't change things
D
Even if I made it
[Chorus]
G
So we take our time and skip around some
C
Half my love is on the run
Em
Half my love is on the run
D
Chase it down while I'm young
[Refrain]
G C Em D
[Verse]
G Em
My car broke down somewhere up on Mulholland
C D
And we watched the lights break on the imported palms
G Em
And we laughed out loud at all of the bullshit here
C D
I'm dying on promises dear, in the Hollywood sun
[Pre-Chorus]
G
One by one, two by two
C
Miss Jenny Jenkins
Em
You know I wouldn't change things
D
Even if I made it
[Chorus]
G
So we take our time and skip around some
C
Half my love is on the run
Em
Half my love is on the run
D
Chase it down while I'm young
[Refrain]
G C Em D
[Pre-Chorus]
G
One by one, two by two
C
Miss Jenny Jenkins
Em
You know I wouldn't change things
D
Even if I made it
