Paul McCartney - Chaos And Creation In The Backyard - Jenny Wren
This song has a lot of finger-picking in it. In case you can't tell, it's very similar
to the song "Blackbird" and you can play a lot of this using the same style. Hit the
top note (usually on the B string) and then just hit some notes on the bass strings.

Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing

But a broken heart, took her song away
Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing
She could see the world, and it's foolish ways
Am Dm A/C# Dm Ddim Dm7 Em7 C
How we spend our days, casting love a side
Am Dm A/C# Dm Ddim Am
Losing sight of life day by day
She saw poverty, breaking all the home
Wounded warriors, took her song away

When this broken world, mends its foolish ways
Now we spend our days, catching up on life
All because of you, Jenny Wren
You saw, who we are, Jenny Wren
