Biography:
Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer and songwriter. Chapin's debut album, Heads and Tales (1972), was a success thanks to the single "Taxi". His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single "Cat's in the Cradle". He also wrote and performed a Broadway musical, The Night That Made America Famous.

[Intro]
E A (2x)
[Verse 1]
E A
It was when I rode off in my daydream
E A
Chasing that vision of light
E A
It was then I got caught in the jet stream
E A
And I dropped through a hole in the night
D F#m
Then I knew it's not you that I run from
A B C#m
I saw each of us living alone
D F#m
And I prayed that you'd still could be waiting
A B C#m B
And that's when I started for home
[Chorus]
E E7 A F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
C#m7 B B A F#m
Oh my Jenny my love
E E7 A F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
B A E B
You are my rainbow above
[Verse 2]
E A
I have seen a great city in darkness
E A
Dream lady dressed in cold concrete
E A
And I've seen the city of angels
E A
With the names of its dead in the streets
D F#m
And for once I could see it all your way
A B C#m
And for once I knew I was all wrong
D F#m
And I thought of you there in my doorway
A B C#m B
And I knew I'd been travellin' too long
[Chorus]
E E7 A F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
C#m7 B B A F#m
Oh my Jenny my love
E E7 A F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
B A E B
You are my rainbow above
[Verse 3]
E A
When I crossed to the heart of the country
E A
I was lost in a forest of signs
E A
And I laughed 'cause life gets so funny
E A
Here I was wasted from wastin' my time
D F#m
So now shine down you sun on my shadow
A B C#m
Without you I don't mean a thing
D F#m
And gather me one golden morning babe
A B C#m B
'Cause it's your song that I need to sing
[Chorus]
E E7 A F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
C#m7 B B A F#m
Oh my Jenny my love
E E7 A F#m7
Oh my Jenny, oh my Jenny
B A E B
You are my rainbow above
