Thomas Jennings' "Juniper", a widely unknown song, yet still a great one. Really predictable melodies, so
great for singing and playing! This is one of my favorite songs, and I hope it ends up yours too!
[Verse 1]
G
I watched my juniper
Cadd9
Start down the path,
G
And I knew right away
Cadd9
She wasn't coming back,
D
She turned to me
C
And with a smile and a laugh,
D7 F C
My juniper slipped through my grasp
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
I know she’s lost but all the same,
G Cadd9
I can’t help but call her name,
F C
Juniper, oh Juniper,
F C
Come back here,
F C
Juniper oh juniper
G C
Ill shelter you from fear.
[Verse 2]
G
Now my Juniper, is lost to me,
Cadd9
Found by the heavens, amongst the trees,
D
My juniper is gone,
C
Swept away,
D
And I miss her more,
C G
Every day
[Bridge]
D
She’s gone,
C
She’s gone,
G
My juniper has moved on,
D
She’s gone,
C
She’s gone,
G
And I can’t help but hold on
[Verse 3]
G
And I know she’s lost,
Cadd9
But through my tears,
G
I struggle to breathe
Cadd9
Because she isn't near,
D C
My juniper has left me,
D C
I couldn’t shelter her from fear
D C
My juniper has left me,
C G
I couldn’t save my dear
[Outro]
D C G
Nooooo-oooo I couldn’t save my dear,
D C G
Oh Noooooo-oooooo I couldn’t save my dear.
