Oh, little Jeannie, you got so much love, 

little Jeannie.
        G                 D          A
And you take it where it strikes and give

it to the likes of me.

So, I see you when I can, you make me all a 
B       E
man can be.

I want you to  be my lover.

Oh, there were others who would treat you cruel..

and oh, Jeannie, you were always someone's fool.

Little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie.
               G                 D          A
Though you've grown beyond your years, you still retain 
    B          E
the fears of youth.
A                                  F#m
Oh, little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie.
           G                 D          A
But you're burning it up so fast, searching for some 

B       E
lasting truth.

CHORUS 2:
      D                A         
And I want you to be my acrobat,

I want you to  be my lover.
               F#m     E                   B
Oh, there were others who would treat you cruel..

 and oh, Jeannie, I will always be your fool.
