Jennifer Johnson And Me
By Robert Earl Keen 


Capo 5 to get the same sound REK does on the recording.


G                         C              G
Deep in the pocket, of an old sport coat jacket
  G                              D 
I chanced to discover an old memory
C                      G
Three for a quarter, a black and white portrait
G                 D           G
Taken of Jennifer Johnson and me 

I'm in the corner, my shirt collar open
Like some Latin lover, on late night TV
Smiling right there with her head on my shoulder
It's Jennifer Johnson, and she's lookin' at me 
It must have been summer, Nineteen Sixty Seven
The Beatles were singing Love Is All You Need
I held her hand as we walked through the arcade
Two young believers on a three dollar spree 


Chorus 1:
C                     G
Three for a quarter a black and white portrait
                                     D
Jen, close the curtain so no one can see
C                             G
Hey kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashing
G                                     G
It's flashing on Jennifer Johnson and Me 


Waiting on that late night train back to home
I felt her warm, in the cool evening breeze
Told her I'd probably love her forever
Forever for Jennifer Johnson and Me 
Three for a quarter a black and white portrait
Jen, close the curtain so no one can see
Hey kiss me quick, 'cause the red light is flashing
It's flashing on Jennifer Johnson and Me 

Chorus 2:
Three for a quarter a black and white portrait
Two young believers on a three dollar spree
I saved your picture in my sport coat pocket
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me
G                         D           C      G
Jennifer Johnson, did you save one of me
