Tom Paxton - Jennifers Rabbit Chords

[Verse]
Am
Jennifer slept in her little bed
     G                                Am
With dreams of a rabbit in her little head.
 
Am
Jennifer's rabbit, brown and white,
G
Left the house and ran away one night
Am                          G
Along with the turtle and a kangaroo
    Am                         G    Am
And seventeen monkeys from the city zoo,
    E        Am
And Jennifer too.
 
     Dm                              Am
They ran through the forest and they all held hands.
     G                          Am
They came to the ocean with the cookie crumb sands.
Dm                       Am
Called it the sea of the very best dreams,
                                   G         Am
And they all built a castle of the best moon beams.
    E         Am
And milky way streams.
     Am
And there on the sand where the star fish play,
     G
The ship sailed in from the moonbeam bay,
         Am                       G
And they all went sailing on the starlight sea
           AM                   G      Am
Where they all had cookies with oolong tea,
    E         |Am
And Jenny had three.
 
      Dm                         AM
They danced on the decks of the red-sailed brig;
     G                            Am
The monkeys and the sailors did a whirling jig.
  Dm                              Am
Turtle played the fiddle and the rabbit played kazoo,
                                G         AM
And they bowed to each other as polite folks do.
     E           AM
And Jenny bowed too.
 
       Am
Then, "My!" said the turtle as the clock struck three,
      G
"The hour is growing very late for me."
        Am                               G
"Not at all," said the rabbit, "And I'll tell you why,
   Am                           G          Am
We still haven't counted every star in the sky."
      E            Am
Said Jenny, "Let's try."
 
         Dm                           Am
So they counted on the ship and they counted on the shore;
      G                                Am
They counted through the forest to the bedroom door.
       Dm                           Am
They counted in bed till they could count no more,
                                   G     Am
Then they all fell asleep and the final score
      E            Am
Was a trillion and four.
 
         Dm                            Am
Yes, the rabbit and the turtle and the kangaroo,
                           G            Am
And Jenny fell asleep like sleepy folks do,
E         Am    Asus2    A
Just like you.
