Growing up on a small Banana farm in Hawaii to a free spirited song writing, husky voiced father and beautiful, swing dancing, business savvy mother. Jess Penner's childhood was sweeter than most. Perfect sunny days walking barefoot to the beach and fishing with the neighborhood boys would be more than a dream for most kids. But Jess had dreams much bigger....
Signing her first record deal at age 16, Jess spent the next decade fully committed to her dream.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
(Verse) D I got so excited F#m When I saw you for the first time Bm You fresh and inviting G Perfectly enticing, yeah
D In the most distinctive hue F#m Of crisp white linen kissed with blue Bm All polished and sophisticated G The finest specimen, oh, oh A Where had you been GA I’d searched between the leaves to no avail GBm I’d sat beneath the tress hoping the sky would send me Em Something so delicious
(Chorus) D Like apples and onions F#m Like whisky and wine Bm Some are just born beautiful G And some need time to D Find out what they’re made of F#m And where they belong BmG Like apples and onions
(Verse) D You won’t recognize me when F#m You see what I’ve become Bm From scrappy little fisherman G To juicy little plum D From knotted hair and bruised up knees F#m To lips so sweet they’d make the bees Bm Swarm around with jealousy G You never saw this side of me A Oh what hides beneath GA Is not always as simple as it seems
(Chorus) D Like apples and onions F#m Like whisky and wine Bm Some are just born beautiful G And some need time to D Find out what they’re made of F#m And where they belong BmG Like apples and onions
G What starts off intoxicating, A Shiny and exhilarating Bm After a while D It gets a little bit tired and G What at first seems dry and rough A With skin so thick and shell so tough Bm You work so hard to get inside D And then you find something so delicious
D Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh … F#m Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh … (Something so complex) BmG Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh … You didn’t know existed
D Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh … F#m Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh … (You never saw, perfect) BmG Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh … Something so delicious
GA Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh BmD Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh GA Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh (So find out what you’re made of, yeah) BmD Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh
