Cracker Jack Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Once[D] I h[G]ad a little dog[C]
[D]I called him Cracker [G]Jack
He had a spot [C]around one eye
That looked [D]just like [G]a patch
His legs were way too long
And he was [C]awkward as [G]could be
He [C]wasn't much [G]to look at
But he [D]looked alright to [G]me

[Verse 2]
[G]I found him by the [C]river bank
Just [D]wondering [G]about
He was cold and [C]hungry
And his rib[D]s were sticking o[G]ut
I snapped my fingers, whistled
When [C]he came, I picked him [G]up
[C]I was just a kid
[G]And Cracker Jac[D]k was just a pup[G]

[Verse 3]
I took him home and [C]fed him
Till he [D]couldn't eat no [G]more
I took him to my room
[C]And put a b[D]lanket on the[G] floor
After that beside my bed
Is [C]where he'd always [G]sleep
[C]Each night in my pray[G]ers
I prayed [D]the lord his soul to [G]keep

[Verse 4]
Cracker [C]Jack
The best friend that I ever
had was [G]Cracker Jack
But he was [D]more then that
A play mate, a companion
He was [G]love and understanding
That was [C]Cracker Jack
The best friend that I ever
had was [G]Cracker Jack
But he was [D]more than that
Everything a kid could want
I had in Cracker [G]Jack
[Ab]

[Verse 5]
Cracker Jack [C#]would run to meet me
[Eb]After school each [Ab]day
He'd jump and wag his [C#]tail
And look [Eb]at me as if [Ab]to say
"I love you and I've missed you
and I'm [C#]glad you're home [Ab]again"
I [C#]knew just how [Ab]you felt cause me and
[Eb]Cracker Jack [Ab]was friends

[Verse 6]
[Ab]Through the woods and [C#]fields
We would [Eb]often roam [Ab]about
And when we got in [C#]trouble
We [Eb]would help each other [Ab]out
I could run almost as fast as
[C#]Cracker Jack could [Ab]run
We [C#]had a lot in [Ab]common and we
[Eb]had a lot [Ab]of fun

[Verse 7]
He was always with [C#]me when
[Eb]I was growing up[Ab]
We shared each other's good [C#]times and
[Eb]we shared each other's [Ab]love
He only lives in memories now
But [C#]often I think [Ab]back
[C#]To the days of[Ab] childhood
[Eb]The days of Cracker [Ab]Jack

[Verse 8]
Cracker [C#]Jack
The best friend that I ever
had was [Ab]Cracker Jack
But he was [Eb]more then that
A play mate, a companion
He was [Ab]love and understanding
[Fm]That was [C#]Cracker Jack
The best friend that I ever
had was [Ab]Cracker Jack
But he was [Eb]more then that
Everything a kid could want
I had in Cracker [Ab]Jack[Fm]
