Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair chords
Stephen Foster
[Verse 1]
G C G C G
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Em G C G A7 D7
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air
G C G C G
I see her tripping where the bright streams play,
A7 D Em D A7 D
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
D7 G
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour,
C G G7 Bm D7
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er:
C C G C G
Oh! I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Am Em G C A D7 G
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
[Verse 2]
G C G C G
I long for Jeanie with the day dawn smile,
Em G C G A7 D7
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile;
G C G C G
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,
A7 D Em D A7 D
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die:-
D7 G
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,-
C G G7 Bm D7
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again:
C C G C G
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,
Am Em G C A D7 G
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.
[Verse 3]
G C G C G
I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Em G C G A7 D7
Far from the fond hearts round her native glade;
G C G C G
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,
A7 D Em D A7 D
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone.
D7 G
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
C G G7 Bm D7
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more:
C C G C G
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Am Em G C A D7 G
Floating like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
