Intro: G Em |C D |D D5
Bb C G
Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
Bb F G
With his long tail hanging down.
Bb C G
He quietly sits under every tree
Bb F G
In the folds of his velvet gown.
Bb C G
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
Bb F G
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
Bb C G
And he taps his cane upon the ground-
Bb F G
Signal the snow drops, it's time to grow.
G Em C D D5
Bb C G
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
Bb F G
No place to dance, no time for song.
Bb C G
He wears the colors of the summer soldier;
Bb F G
Carries the green flag all winter long.
G Em C D D5
Am D G F
Jack, do you never sleep? Does the green still run deep in your heart?
Am D G F
or will these changing times, motorways, power lines, keep us apart?
C D
Well, I don't think so.
C D G
I saw some grass growing through the pavement today.
Bb C G
(humming melody)
Bb F G
(continue humming the melody)
Bb C G
The Rowan, the Oak, and the Holly tree
Bb F G
Are the changes left for him to groom.
G Em C D D5
Bb C G
Each blade of grass whispers, "Jack-in-the-Green."
Bb F G
"Oh Jack, please help me through my winters night."
Bb C G
And-"We are the berries the on the Holly tree:
Bb F G
Oh, the Mistle Thrush is coming, Jack, put out the light."
