Here's Richard Thompson's "Jennie". This version is the acoustic version from the "Watching in the Dark" anthology and I haven't tested it against the studio version. Some base runs not noted out cause they're different on every verse. Capo on the 4th fret, but first, tune low E to D. All chords written as if in first position.

Now you pin up your hair like you did When first we met Oh how many days of his life can a man regret And if my tears were a train Then I'd cry my way Back into your arms again Now I can't help it Oh Jennie my love Oh Jennie my love

Now I count the time we had And the times we missed Now I stand here love unsworn And lips unkissed And you don't know how hard I try To kill the vision of you as Another mans bride Now I can't help it Oh Jennie my love Oh Jennie my love Oh Jennie my love Oh Jennie my love
