Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine

The Killers - "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine"
(Tabbed by [email protected])
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the true way to play the song. I watched many live videos and this is exactly
Dave Keuning plays. All the other tabs for the song are wrong (not being a jackass, it's
the truth). The chords may look odd, but Dave played jazz guitar in high school and it 
his playing.

Tune a 1/2 step down (flat tuning, EbAbDbGbBbeb)

Verse 1:
                                                C
We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
Em                    D                         C
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
Em                     D                        C
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
Em                          D
She couldn't scream while I held I close
    C
I swore I'd never let her go

Verse 2:

I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
Em                D                     C
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright

I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
