Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
   D            D           A7      D
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man

[intro riff]

    D              D              A7       D
The kids all would sing, he would take the wrong key
        D           D             A7    D
So they rode on his head with their furry donkey

[intro riff]

But they never stopped Jack in the water lapping
And they couldn't distract him from the seagulls clapping

D

    G        
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
     A
They tried and tried and tried
     G
They dropped things on his back
    Asus4             A                 Asus4    A
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

But they never stopped Jack in the water lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

| A    | D    | A    | D    | A    | D    | A    | D   Dsus4 |

But they never stopped jack in the water lapping
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

| A    | D    | A    | D    | G    | A  D | G    |

| A A  | A A  | A A  | A A  | A.......

The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

[opening lick ]
