Jenny Was a Friend of Mine The Killers
The Killers - "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine"

-------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
