I knew a man named Jack, who built a little shack,
  E                       B7
A house he could call his home.
E                         A
Love came callin', pretty soon he was fallin'
       E              B7    E
And he didn't have to live alone.


         E                     A
Well her name was Jill and she made Jack feel
       E                      B7
Like a king in a mansion on a hill.
    E                 A
And for a while, they loved in style,
E             B7         E
Livin' in the house that Jack built.

It was a red-brick shack on a country acre, flower boxes in the windowsill.

Picket fence, it was picture perfect, every room was filled with
E           A
Love, love, sweet sweet love,
E             B7         E
Livin' in the house that Jack built.
