Ballad Of Jack

(A)

A
Woke up this morning, girl next to me
A
Suckin´ on a cigarette burn for all to see
D                                      A
I just grinned poured some Jacks in my coffee
    E                      A
Oh, all I want is a cup of tea

A
Saw her there lyin´ on the floor
A
Reading the bible `bout a quarter past four
        D                                A
I said "Little miss Velvet, give me some tea"
    E         D            A
Oh, all I want is a cup of tea

    D                                         A
Oh, this is the ballad, this is the ballad of Jack
D                                          A
This is the ballad, this is the ballad for Sam

(F#, F, A)(x2)

A
Bit hard on that cigarette burn
A
Told me stories make my stomach turn
D                                         A
I just grinned, pretended it happens every day, yeah, yeah, yeah
E             D             A
Mustang Sally, you gotta go away

    D                                         A
Oh, this is the ballad, this is the ballad of Jack
    D                            A
Oh, this is the ballad for uncle Sam

F# F  A
Oooh, yeah
F#    F     A
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

A
I know this guy, he´s got loads of scars
A
Bonfire of vanity down his arms
A
Disinfects them with tears from a jar
A
Like the venom from a rattlesnakes´s heart

D                                         A
This is the ballad, this is the ballad of Jack

Oh, this is the ballad for uncle Sam

E, D, A

    F#                      F           A
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh

Oh, this is the ballad of Jack
    F#          F           A
The ballad, the ballad, oh, yeah

F#      F       A
