C                A               D
As I was walking by the shore, I happened there 
   G      Em                             F
to see, a woman's form a-lyin' there, as still as 
            G
still could be.
C                      Am                F
The dress she wore was gingham blue, her hair all 
        G
tumbled down.
   C               F                    G
It might have been my own true love, my sweetheart 
      C      Ab
Jenny Brown.

    Db              Bbm                  Eb
Her face was turned into the sand..'twas who, I couldn't 
Ab
tell.
    Fm                                    F#
But on her hand was a high school ring..a ring I knew 
    Ab
too well.
   Db                   Bbm                  B
My heart stood still, I grasped her arm..and then I turned 
    
her round.
Db                                F#         Ab    Db
Alas, it was my own true love, my sweetheart Jenny Brown.

    D      B      Em                  A
Oh, Jenny..Brown..why did I treat you cru-el?
Bm           G                Em            A            D
Gosh, whizz, Jenny..there was tears in your eyes and you ran 
          Gm                          Bb
away from me and now here I find you..on the beach all still
               D                
and sandy..and flies and stuff.
Bb
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Gm Eb              Cm             Fm                Bb
I  stared into her loving face..a face that used to clown.
  G                           Ab            Bb    
I saw one eye a-flicker, then wink and open round.
    Eb                    Cm               F
Ha! ha! she laughed, then jumped up tall..'I'll bet you thought 
    Bb
I'd drowned!'
C      G               Eb     Ab     Bb               Eb
What a rotten sense of humor..has my sweetheart Jenny Brown.
