^D Jill was^C a girl, Jack was a guy ^D One da^Cy they caught each other's eye ^D And they^C went steady fo^Dr two y^Cears ^D They'd spe^Cnd their ^Dsummers by the sea And the^Cy were hap^Dpy and carefree A^Cnd for ^Dthe f^Cuture had no fears

Pre-chorus 1

^D/A But Jack ^A/C#had a lit^G/Dtle secret He'd bee^Bn keeping to^C himself very deep inside his soul ^D/A He was^A/C# ashamed, ^G/Dhe was embarrassed Didn't w^Bant to jeopardi^Cse the loved they shared, oh not at all

Chorus 1 |G\\Bm7\\|C\\\\| Jack was... a hedgehog |G\\Bm7\\|C\\\\|C\\C6\\|C\\C6| Nobody knew

He was^G a filth^D/F#y little creature But wi^A/C#th one re^Ddeeming feature He w^Cas quit^De good at^G impersonating a human

Verse 2

^D Well,^C Jack de^Dcided to tell Jill But he d^Cid not kno^Dw how she'd feel So ^Che made^D a ^Ched^Dgehog slice She sai^Cd, "J^Dack, thank you for the food And I^C don't wan^Dt to sound too rude, I don^C't think h^Dedg^Cehogs are nice."

Pre-Chorus:

^D/A Then Jack ^A/C#was gutte^Dd and a tear rolled down his cheek And Ji^Csus2ll said, "^DJack, I was joking. I love this chocolate treat. It's ju^Bmst the anima^Cl hedgehogs that I despise." C C6(repeat for this line) And it was quite sad because she still had no idea that Jack |G\\Bm7\\|C\\\\| was a hedgehog |G\\Bm7\\|C\\\\|C\\C6\\|C\\C6| Yes, she had no idea

Post Chorus:

^GBut he couldn^D/F#'t stand the shame And^A/C# he had to c^Dlear his name So ^Che organi^Dsed to me^Get Jill down on Southbank ^Am7 And he said^C, "Jill,^D I wanna tell you..." N.C She said, "Shh, I wanna smell you." ^CHe ^Dsai^Emd, "Not the best idea." ^CAnd^D he^Em said, "Jill, I am a hedgehog." ^CAnd^D sh^Eme said, "Haha, silly. Well, give me a hedge-hug." ^CAnd^D th^Emey held each other near

(Spoken Bridge– All throughout in 8ves |C\\D\\|Em\\\\|) But as they were hugging each other, Jill cut her hand up on one of the spikes on his back. And she said, "Jack, what the fuck is this? You have spikes on your back! And he tore away his trench coat, and he pulled off his little mask and his snout popped out and she said, "Are you- you actually are a hedgehog!" "Yes, I was trying to tell you, babe. I've been trying to tell you for a week." "Four years, Jack, you've been keeping this from me! Four years, you little crazy fuck! What were you doing? What were you thinking!" And she picked Jack

up, and she kicke^Gd h^D/F#im hig^C/Eh into the air! (Sung) ^GJack ^D/F#went flying ^C/Ethrough the air Lik^D/F#e a big ball of hedgehog

^D/F#And all the while, he was singing: ^G"Good^D/F#bye my lover, goodbye my friend ^C/EYou have be^D/F#en the one..."

(Spoken repeat |G\\\\|D/F#\\\\|C/E\\\\|D/F#\\\\|) And after he'd done singing James Blunt's entire extended repertoire, two albums to date, he came to rest through the

open windo^Gw of a yellow taxi cab in Frankston. (Sung) ^AmHedgehog in a^G taxi, will he pay the fare? ^AmHedgehog in a taxi^G, does the driver even know that he's there? The ^Fdriver did know he was there And th^Gey charged Jack the fare But ^FJack disagreed with^G the two dollar fifty flagfall ^AmHedgehog in a taxi, getting fiscal ^GDidn't like the driver, pulled a pistol ^AmOut shot the driver, couldn't revive her ^GYou all thought that she was a man but she was a woman, you |Am\\\\|G\\\\| are sexist

^AmHedgehog in a taxi, hedgehog on the run Ther^Ge are twenty cops behind him but they know he's got a gun So he^Am's gotta keep on going, petrol flowing But ^Gnow he's been surro^Funded and he's slowing down He's i^Gn an alleyway The co^Fps are are and they Are just^G about to shoot

(Spoken - No Chords here apart from when appropriate play the chorus - |G\\Bm7\\|C\(rest for 3)|) And then Jill came running in through the alleyway. She said, "Stop! Don't shoot the little prick! Can't you see he's not man! He's just a hedgehog!" But as she was playing the grand piano she'd wheeled into the alleyway for dramatic effect, the policemen riddled Jack's little body with bullets and then started playing soccer with his corpse. Final scores were Victoria Police 3, Jack's corpse nil. Some say it was an unfair match. And all the while, Jill kept on playing. Interlude: Am,G,F,G Outro (Sung)

^Am In conc^Glusion, it has been seen ^FDon't prete^Gnd to be a human ^AmIn conclus^Gion, it has been seen ^FSome people who say ^Gthey are a human might not actually be a human ^AmIn conclus^Gion, it has been seen ^FMany of us are still heavily instructed by a dominant social paradigm that suggest taxi driving is not an occupation for fema^Gles

Coda: F G (gliss up) There might be a hedgehog in this room F G (gliss up) There might be a hedgehog in this room F G (gliss up) There might be a hedgehog in this room (Am) Ow! Prickly.
