Jack O' Diamonds Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh, [G]Mau[D]i, dear Maui,
it is for your sake alone
That I'd [A]leave my old parents,
my [D]house and my home
That I'd leave my old parents,
you caused me to roam
I'm a [A]poor rebel soldier
and [D]Dixie's my home
Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds,
I know you hold
You've [A]robbed my poor pockets
of [D]silver and gold
Oh, whiskey, villain,
you've been my downfall,
You've [A]kicked me, you've cut me,
but I [D]love you for [A]all.[D]
Her parents don't like me,
they say I'm too poor,
[A]They say I'm unworthy
to enter [D]her door.
They say I drink whiskey,
but my money's my own,
And them [A]that don't like me
can leave [D]me alone.
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds,
I know you hold,
You've [A]robbed my poor pockets
of [D]silver and gold.
Oh, whiskey overload,
you've been my downfall,
You've [A]kicked me, you've cut me,
but I [D]love you for [A]old.[D]
I'll build me a castle on
yon mountain high
Where my [A]true love can see me
when she [D]comes ridin' by
Where my true love can see me
and help me to mourn
I'm a [A]poor rebel soldier
and [D]Dixie's my home
Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds,
I know you're of old
You've [A]robbed my poor pockets
of [D]silver and gold
Oh, Whiskey, you've my downfall
[A]You've kicked me, you've cuffed me,
but I [D]love you for all

[Outro 1]
