Country Jack (aka Wino Of Skid Row) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]If [G]you're [C]eve[D]r i[G]n our city,[C]
on the [G]back streets of [C]our [A]town,[D]
And you [G]see an old man
[C]toting a [G]small guitar [D]around,
That's [G]Country Jack, the [C]pickin' man,
a [G]star of long [D]ago.
An [G]old tin cup [C]on his gui[D]tar
Now the wino of Skid [G]Row
He used to play [C]on Main Street
Till [G]someone closed [C]the [D]door
[G]Someone stole his [C]big hit song
And he [G]don't play there no [D]more
But [G]Country Jack's [C]still singin'
[G]the only song he [D]knows
The one [G]big song [C]that broke his [D]heart
The whine -o of Skid [G]Row
So won't you give ol' [C]Country Jack
a [G]nickel or a [D]dime
And [G]don't you think his [C]big hit song
is [G]worth a drink of [D]wine
And [G]please don't judge ol' [C]Country Jack
or tell [G]him where to [D]go
Cause he [G]knows why you [C]pass him [D]by
Though I know of Skid [G]Row[C][D][G]
So if you're ever in our [C]city,
on the back [G]streets of our [D]town,
And you [G]see an old man
[C]toting a [G]small guitar [D]around,
You [G]may recall [C]his melody,
a [G]song from long [D]ago,
Before [G]ol' Country [C]Jack
be[D]came the wino of Skid [G]Row
So won't you give ol' [C]Country Jack
a nickel [G]or a [D]dime
And [G]don't you think his [C]big hit song
is [G]worth a drink of [D]wine
And [G]please don't try [C]to criticize
the [G]only song I [D]know
And this [G]old man will [C]play [D]again
the wino of Skid [G]Row
And please don't try to [C]criticize
the [G]only song I [D]know
And this [G]old man will [C]play [D]again
The whine -o of Skid Row
[G]
