[INTRO]
[D] [G] [A] [D]
[VERSE]
Jenny's anchored off in the [Em]roadstead now
[A]Lying to a three-inch [D]rode
She [F#7]should have been gone on the [G]morning tide
But now the [D]whole damn [A]day's grown [D]old
[VERSE]
[Em]Sitting on the foredeck, [G]windy and cold
With the [F#m]west wind making [Bm]on
And that [G]dumb-fool deckhand [A]she's dreaming [Bm]on
Has [D]slipped his [A]cable and [D]gone
[CHORUS]
[F#m]Oh, Jenny, let the [G]damn-fool go
There's a [A]good man down the [D]line
You're going to [G]meet him on the next short-tow
And [A]he's going to treat you [D]fine [G] [A] [D]
[VERSE]
All those years growing [Em]up on the water
[A]Working on your daddy's [D]crew
You've been [F#7]barge-hand, deckhand and [G]engineer
There ain't a [D]damn thing [A]you can't [D]do
[VERSE]
So [Em]now you're the skipper and your [G]own damn boss
But the [F#m]boss gets lonely, [Bm]too [G]
She gets to thinking that [A]any young [Bm]buck
Is the [D]best that [A]she can [D]do
[CHORUS]
[F#m]Oh, Jenny, let the [G]damn-fool go
There's a [A]good man down the [D]line
You're going to [G]meet him on the next short-tow
And [A]he's going to treat you [D]fine [A]
[VERSE]
'Cause you're [D]strong and able, canny and [Em]kind
You're the [A]best thing he'll ever [D]know
And that [F#7]west wind's strolling a[G]long your deck
Singing, "[D]Come on, [A]Jenny, let's [D]go"
[VERSE]
[Em]Now you're the skipper and your [G]own damn boss
And the [F#m]boss gets lonely, [Bm]too
But [G]don't you be thinking that [A]any young [Bm]buck
Is the [D]best that [A]you can [D]do
[CHORUS]
[F#m]Oh, Jenny, let the [G]damn-fool go
There's a [A]good man down the [D]line
You're going to [G]meet him on the next short-tow
And [A]he's going to treat you [D]fine [F#m]
[BRIDGE]
Hit the air now, [G]fire up the Cat
[A]Throw in the gear to the [D]windlass
Haul that big old [G]anchor on board
And [A]go on about your [D]business [A]
[VERSE]
[D] [Em]
Oh, Jenny-with-the-wind-in-your-hair
Just [A]lay this day a[D]side
[F#7]Lay your head on the [G]cool west wind
And [D]tack your [A]own sweet [D]tide
[D] [G] [A] [D]
