Skin shining white as a dove

Lying beside her I melted away

Into her river of love

CHORUS:
 Dm        C
Whoa, I'm lost in a maze
 G                         Asus4  A
Counting the ways that she  smi--les
 Dm      C
Time is slipping away, yeah

How to play Jennifer: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Jennifer by Bert Sommer on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Jennifer by Bert Sommer keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 6 chords: D, C, G, Dm, Asus4 and A.

Listen for D – C – G – D (V – IV – I – V in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – fah – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
