Jack-In-The-Green

[Intro] A  F#m  D  E

[Primeira Parte]

C       G        D            A
Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green
 C       G                 A
With his long tail hanging down
C         G          D     A
He quietly sits under every tree
C     G                   A
In the folds of his velvet gown
C        G              D     A
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
C           G              A
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows
C     G             D        A
And he taps his cane upon the ground
C         G                        A
Signal the snow drops it's time to grow

( A  F#m  D  E )

C      G         D           A
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green
C          G                  A
No place to dance no time for song
C           G              D      A
He wears the colours of the summer soldier
C          G                     A
Carries the green flag all winter long

( A  F#m  D  E )

Bm
Jack do you ever sleep?
E                            A             G
Does the green still run deep in your heart
Bm
Or will these changing times
E                    A             G
Motorways powerlines keep us apart
D             E
Well I don't think so
D          E                                    A
I saw some grass growing through the pavement today

C             G           D     A
The Rowan the Oak and the Holly tree
C              G               A
Are the changes left for him to groom

( A  F#m  D  E )

C            G                D           A
Each blade of grass whispers Jack-in-the-Green
C               G                          A
Oh Jack please help me through my winters night
C              G                   D     A
And- We are the berries the on the Holly tree
C             G                                   A
Oh the Mistle Thrust is coming Jack put out the light
