Intro SOL RE
SIb FA DOadd9 SOL
Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
SIb FA SOL
-With his long tail hanging down.
SIb FA DOadd9 SOL
He quietly sits under every tree
SIb FA SOL
In the folds of his velvet gown.
SIb FA DOadd9 SOL
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
SIb FA SOL
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
SIb FA DOadd9 SOL
And he taps his cane upon the ground-
SIb FA SOL
Signal the snow drops, it's time to grow.
SOL RE
SIb FA DOadd9 SOL
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
SIb FA SOL
No place to dance, no time for song.
SIb FA DOadd9 SOL
He wears the colours of the summer soldier;
SIb FA SOL
Carries the green flag all winter long.
SOL RE
LAm RE SOL
Jack, do you ever sleep-does the green still run in your heart?
LAm RE SOL
or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines, keep us apart?
RE SOL
Well, I don't think so.
RE SOL
I saw some grass growing through the pavement today.
(a verse with humming)
SIb FA DOadd9 SOL
The Rowan, the Oak, and the Holly tree
SIb FA SOL
Are the changes left for him to groom.
SOL RE
SIb FA DOadd9 SOL
Each blade of grass whispers, "Jack-in-the-Green."
SIb FA SOL
"Oh Jack, please help me through my winters night."
SIb FA DOadd9 SOL
And-"We are the berries the on the Holly tree:
SIb FA SOL
Oh, the Mistle Thrust is coming, Jack, put out the light."
