Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][B][D][E]
[D][B][D][E][C#m][A][B]
[G]Have you seen

[Verse 1]
Jack[D]-in-the-Green?
[E]With With With [G]With his[D] long
tail hanging [E]down.[Em]
[G]He sits quietly

[Verse 2]
[D]under every [E]tree[G]
In the [D]folds of his velvet [Em]gown.[E][Em]
[G]He drinks from the empty [D]acorn [E]cup.
[G]The dew that daw[D]n sweetly bestows.
[E]And[Em] taps[G] his cane
[D]upon the [E]ground [G]-
Signals the [D]snow drops,
it's time to grow
[E][Em][E][C#m][A][B]

[Verse 3]
[G]It's no fun being Jack
[D]-in-the-Green:
[E]No No [Em]No p[G]lace to dance,[D]
no time for [Em]song.[E]
[G]He wears the colors of the
[D]summer [E]soldier;
[Em]And [G]carries the gree[D]n flag all the
winter [E]long.[Em][E]
[C#m][A][B]

[Verse 4]
[F#m]Jack do you never s[B]leep - does the
green still run [E]deep in your [D]heart?
[F#m]Or will these changing times,[B] motorways, power lines,
[E]keep [Em]us apart?[D][C#m]
[A]Well, I don't [B]think so.
[A]I saw some gra[B]ss growing through the

[Interlude 1]
pavements today.
[E][G][D][E][Em][G][D][E]
The [G]Rowan,

[Verse 5]
the Oak and the [D]Holly [E]tree[Em]
[G]Are the cha[D]rges left for him to
[E]groom.
[C#m][A][B]

[Verse 6]
[G]Each blade of grass whispers,
"Jack[D]-in-the-Green."
"Oh [Em]"Oh "O[E]h "[Em]Oh Jack[G],
please [D]help me through my winter's [E]night."
[Em]An d[G] "We are the berries
on [Em]the Holly [E]tre[Em]e:
[G]Oh, the Mistle Thrush is [D]coming. Jack,
put [E]out the light!"
