[Do opening riff here]

You won't ^Aknow who to thank You won't ^Dmknow who to ^Ablame It's just a part of the ^DmMurdering ^AGame

'Cos down in the fleshpots

Where they ^Dmpay you in ^Apounds They're laughing like drains And ^Dmbaying like ^Abloodhounds For the ^DJack of ^D/C#all pa^Bmrades The ^DJack of ^Eall ^Aparades ^A7

^DOnce I knew a girl That looked so ^Dmmuch like Judy Garland That ^Apeople would stop and give her money ^D And everybody was Frankie, ^DmJimmy or Bobby Not the ^AJack, the ^EJack of all Parades, Oh the ^AJack, the ^DJack of all ^EParades, Oh the ^AJack,^E of all Pa^Arades.

[Intro riff again]

Now the ^Away that I feel is ^Dmno longer ^Anews You know my love and ^Dmhow to ^Arefuse it

Cause you know where the door is

^DAnd how to ^Ause it ^DOh you ^D/C#know you ^Bmdo But from ^Amy chequered past To ^Dmthis shattered ^Aterrace

Where you can't keep your mind off

the ^DmCrimes of ^AParis And you can't keep your peace And ^Dmtry to ^Aforget it

And I can't forgive you

For ^Dmthings you haven't ^Adone yet Oh ^AI was ^Eanybody's ^Aboy But ^Dsoon that ^D/C#thrill just ^Bmfades To ^Dbe the ^Elove of ^Aone ^Etrue ^F#mheart Or the ^DJack of ^Eall ^Aparades

A [tacet] When we first met I didn't know what to do A [tacet] My old love lines were all worn out on you

And the ^Dworld walked ^D/C#'round my ^Bmmouth I ^Adidn't mean to say it I just ^Eblurted it ^Aout As you ^Dpretended not to ^D/C#notice Or be ^Bmtaken aback And ^EI loved you ^Athere and then It's as ^Esimple as ^Athat

Oh ^AI was ^Eeverybody's ^Aboy But ^Dsoon that ^D/C#thrill just ^Bmfades To ^Dbe the ^Elove of ^Aone ^Etrue ^F#mheart Or the ^DJack of ^Eall ^Aparades To ^Abe the ^Elove of ^Aone ^Etrue ^F#mheart Or the ^DJack of ^Eall ^Aparades Oh the ^DJack of ^Eall ^Aparades
