Hi! ChickWGuitar2003 here... I'll tell you what I did with this. I took Gerritt Lansing's original chording of the song Penny and Me and changed the lyrics to the most correct version of them to date. I was going to attempt chording the song from the Jay Leno appearance when I discovered Lansing's chords... except for the lyrics, it's pretty accurate so I thought I would update the lyrics. I had the caption on during Leno and copied the words for the song from the closed captioning. The only other thing I altered was some of the chord placements to make for easier chord changing/timing. After repeated watching's of the performance, to me, it seems pretty accurate... ENJOY!

[G/B]
Staring at a million city lights

Well Penny likes to get away
[C]        [slide to Dsus4]
and drown her pain in lemonade
[E7sus7]     [B7/E]
and Penny dreams of rainy days
[E7sus4]               [Asus4]
and nights up late by the fireplace
[Asus4]           [D]
and aimless conversations bout the better days
