Jenny's Tale Tabulatur von Ren

Am                               
It was a quiet, dark night on an empty street
Dm
somewhere in London City
 Am                                                    
Jenny walked alone, she was dragging her feet,
        Dm7
she was heading back home to sleep
          Am                                               
Well she knew this town, she knew this floor,
              Dm
because she’d walked it about a thousand times before
    Am                    Dm7
She wanted to escape, can you blame?

             Am                                               
Well on the very same night, in a different place,
               Dm
there walked a hooded young youth by the name of James
       Am                                           
He was 14 years old and out of his brain,
          Dm7
he’d been smoking ganja with the boys
           Am                                     
James, he grew up to be a kid of the street, 
    Dm
his mates called him screech, he was quick on his feet
          Am                                            
He was a liar, a thief at fourteen years old,
          Dm7 
the devil had set his sights on his soul

     Am
As Jenny walked home all alone she felt scared
   Dm
Usually she was alright but it was like 
there was something in the air
  Am                                                  
A divine intervention telling her to beware? 
                   Dm7 N.C.
Or maybe intuition bugging her and making her so scared?
 Am
Sirens sound in the distance to the beat of Jenny’s feet
   Dm
A symphony of the night that echoes crime on London’s streets
  Am
Jenny turns a corner, their eyes they meet
    Dm7  N.C.
Our poor girl Jenny, and a boy named Screech
 
 
[Strumming]
 Am
“Give me all your money bitch! Give it to me!
    Dm
If you co-operate, then you’ll soon be free
            Am     N.C.
I want your purse, your phone, don’t fucking look at me!
  Dm7  N.C.
I mean it bitch! Are you listening to me?”
 
 
[Pattern]
 Am
Jenny freezes, statue like, a lady shaped stalagmite
 Dm
Fear like liquid nitrogen in the dark night
 Am                                               Dm7
She tried to find strength to move but stayed as still as a statue in high heeled shoes
 
 
[Strumming]
  Am
“What the hell you playing at? You playing games with me?
   Dm                    N.C.
I swear to fucking god! I’ll slice the rosy off your cheeks
            Am
You think I don’t mean it girl? You don’t know me!
    Dm7  N.C.
The last thing you see will be a boy called…”
 
 
[Pattern]
          Am
Screech reached for the sheath of the blade with the teeth
            Dm
That could bite through steal and slice concrete
        Am
And he swung possessed, with the devil in his chest
         Dm7*
And the statue she was turned to butter in a breath…
 
 
[strike each chord only once]
          Am                                      
It was a quiet dark night, 
                   Dm    N.C.
on an empty street somewhere in London city
  Am7
Jenny lay still on the cold concrete
        Dm7
She’s found somewhere to sleep
           Am7
Well, she knew this town, she knew this floor
               Dm7
Because she’d walked it about a thousand times before
                   Em7                  F         Am6
I guess that she escaped… it’s such a shame
