Jack of Diamonds, [G]Jack

me but I [Em]loved [C]you [G]of old

Well, [Em]I go[G] yonder mo[D]untain

Well, it's beefcake when I'm [D]hungry,

And it's [G]green[D]backs [G]when I'm
hard off and [Em]hell [G]when I die

If the sea were made of Whiskey
and I was [Em]a duck

and [C]never [Em]come [G]up
Oh, [Em]but the [G]sea ain't made of Whiskey
