Intro
G Em C D D4 D5 D Dsus2 D D5'
BbHave you seen the FJack-In-The-GGreen?
Bb-With his Flong tail hanging dowGn.
BbHe quietly sits under Fevery Gtree
Bb In the Ffolds of his velvet gowGn.
Bb He drinks from the empty Facorn Gcup
BbThe dew that Fdawn sweetly bestoGws.
BbAnd taps his cane uFpon the gGround
BbSignals the Fsnow drops, it's time to gGrow.
G Em C D D4 D5 D Dsus2 D D5'
BbIt's no fun being FJack-In-The-GGreen
BbNo place to Fdance, no time for Gsong.
BbHe wears the colors of the Fsummer Gsoldier
BbCarries the Fgreen flag all the winter Glong.
G Em C D D4 D5 D Dsus2 D D5'
AmJack, do you never sleep ---
DDoes the green still run Gdeep in your heart? F (oh-oh,C oh-oh)
AmOr will these changing times,
DMotorways, power lines, GKeep us apart? F (oh-oh,C oh-oh)
CWell, I don't DthinkD so ---
C I saw some Dgrass grDowing through the Dpavements todGay.
Bbhum, hum, ..F. G
Bbhum, humF, ..G.
BbThe rowan, the oak and the Fholly Gtree
Bb Are the chFarges left for you to Ggroom.
G Em C D D4 D5 D Dsus2 D D5'
BbEach blade of grass whispers "FJack-In-The-GGreen."
Bb"Oh Jack, please Fhelp me through my winter's nGight."
BbAnd- "We are the berries on the Fholly Gtree:
Oh, the BbMistle Thrust is Fcoming. Jack, put out the Glight."
