Jenny Wind

    Am                           
Her father was a man who knew no 
Em
fences
    Am                        Em
Her mother was a woman of the trail
    Am             Em         F
But Jenny Wind was born into a new 
world
G7                 C
When the white man came


Am                   Em
Jenny was taught the old ways
        Am                  
And she learned to speak her 
          Em
father's tongue
         F                        
When she died, she was one of the 
C
last ones
        G7                   C
And the earth covered up her bones


Am                    Em
Jenny Wind was born a wild thing
  Am                       Em
A sister to coyote and the sun
         Am         Em       F
But they gave her a dress of calico
         G7              C
And they named her Jenny Wind


        Am                    
But the white man's ways, they 
          Em
followed her
        Am                         
She was buried 'neath a marker made
    Em
 of stone

           F                    
And on her grave they carved her 
 C
pretty name
G7             F7            C
"Here lies the Indian, Jenny Wind"

F                G7         C
But they say her soul flies free
F              G7            C
Caring for the weary and the lost
Am                     F
In the forest deep and quiet
     G7                       C
All around the grave of Jenny Wind


Am                      Em
I met Jenny on a summer night
Am                    Em
Walking in the Placer County
  Am              Em         
I stumbled on her grave in the 
  F
forest there
G7               C
So all alone and still


  Am                           Em
I wondered if she cared that I found
 her
Am                   Em
Lying so hidden and alone
  F                                
I wondered who she was before they 
C
named her
     G7            C
"The Indian, Jenny Wind"


    Am                   Em
The silence grew till it touched me
    Am                             
And held me like the words upon the
 Em
 stone
    Am            Em          F
And for the first time I was afraid
G7                      C
I would not find my way home


  Am                             
I ran from her as the night grew 
Em
darker
  Am                              
I dropped my glasses and I took a 
Em
fall
         F                C
Lost and blind, somehow I found them
      G7                     C
Lying folded on her grave so small


BRIDGE:
      F                G7         
And I believe that her soul flies 
C
free
       F             G7            
And it cares for the weary and the 
C
lost
Am                     F
In the forest deep and quiet
     G7                       C
All around the grave of Jenny Wind
