Intro G D
Bb F Cadd9 G
Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
-With his long tail hanging down.
Bb F Cadd9 GHe quietly sits under every tree
Bb F GIn the folds of his velvet gown.
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
Bb F GThe dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
Bb F Cadd9 GAnd he taps his cane upon the ground-
Signal the snow drops, it's time to grow.
Bb F Cadd9 G
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
Bb F GNo place to dance, no time for song.
He wears the colours of the summer soldier;
Bb F GCarries the green flag all winter long.
G D
Am D G
Jack, do you ever sleep-does the green still run in your heart?
or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines, keep us apart?
D GWell, I don't think so.
D GI saw some grass growing through the pavement today.
(a verse with humming)
The Rowan, the Oak, and the Holly tree
Bb F GAre the changes left for him to groom.
G D
Bb F Cadd9 G
Each blade of grass whispers, "Jack-in-the-Green."
"Oh Jack, please help me through my winters night."
Bb F Cadd9 GAnd-"We are the berries the on the Holly tree:
Bb F GOh, the Mistle Thrust is coming, Jack, put out the light."
