D                      G      A7
See me sitting in the palmtree
Looking down at people passing by
Sitting here no-one can harm me
They just stare at me and wonder why

            D                  A
No need to bother, I'm gonna stay up here
Whatever happens, I won't let no-one near

Chorus:
           D        E                   A
Until you tell me, jeanie jeanie on my mind,
won't you please
            D        E                       A
You really love me, jeanie jeanie you're so fine,
yes you are now
           E                 F#
And in the evening, when the sun goes down
              D        E
I'll be the bluest of men in this town
          D         G            A      D
'cause I love you, jeanie jeanie on my mind

See me sitting in the palm tree
Waiting for those little words from you
People laugh and point their fingers
Like I was a monkey at the zoo

But I will stay here, among my coconuts
So you will know dear, you're everything I've got
Now won't you tell me, Ginny, Ginny on my mind

 D                                          G
Winds blow, stars glow, I see a light in a window
 Gm                       C                   A7
Dark trees, soft breeze, carry my message to her please

See me sitting in the palm tree
Feeling angry at the silly crowd
No one else but you can calm me
You should know by now I'm far too proud

I need to show you, I've got my feelings too
You shouldn't treat me like you always do

Chorus

G             A7         D
Jeanie jeanie you're so fine
G             A7     D
Jeanie jeanie on my mind
G             A7         D
Jeanie jeanie you're so fine
G             A7     D
Jeanie jeanie on my mind
G             A7         D
Jeanie jeanie you're so fine
