[Verse 1]
Gm
Crazy little child
D#
Never got to see
Gm                        D
All the pretty things in life
 D
Had him put away
Gm
Nothing they could say
       D#           D      Gm
Could ever make the pieces fit
 
 
[Verse 2]
          Gm
Aw well, Daddy-o was rich
D#
Mama was a b**ch
Gm                     D
Living wasn't easy in between
D
Behind his silent scream
Gm
Jackson, in his teens
     D#        D     Gm
Was planning his escape
 
 
[Chorus]
           A#
He was a crazy little child
     F
New Orleans Alley playground
F7
Grimy faced
 F7                     Gm
He watched the hookers cry
 A#                          F
Winos were his friends and when he talked to them
             F7                                  D
They said, "Jackson, boy, they'll get you by and by"
 
 
[Verse 3]
Gm
Depression settin' in
D#
Desp'rate, cool and quick
Gm                                     D
Jackson learned the ropes out on the street
 D
Little candy stores
 Gm
Just pickin' locks and doors
     D#               D            Gm
Was practice for a two bit petty thief

[Verse 4]
    Gm
So Jackson went to Ritz
     D#
And ev'ryone was hip
Gm                                 D
Ritz ran all the rackets there in town
        D
If you need another boy
    Gm
A trigger or a blade
       D#              D    Gm
Well, I'm the slickest cat around
 
 
[Verse 5]
       Gm
Yeah, Ritz gave him the eye
      D#
Once over, then he smiled
 Gm                                D
"Yeah, I've got something here in mind
        D
If you meet me here at two
    Gm
I think you'll like the view
               D#              D                 Gm
Of that long green when you crack that safe tonight"
 
 
[Chorus]
           A#
He was a crazy little child
     F
New Orleans Alley playground
F7
Grimy faced
 F7                     Gm
He watched the hookers cry
 A#                          F
Winos were his friends and when he talked to them
             F7                                  D
They said, "Jackson, boy, they'll get you by and by" that's right
 
 
[Verse 6]
Gm
Well, I'll wait for you outside
                  D#
And I'll be your ears and your eyes
          Gm                                            D
And boy, you just slip in there and bring out all that loot
              D
But Ritz was taken by surprise
           Gm
Couple of unspected guys
           D#          D      Gm
And they left poor Jackson inside

[Verse 7]
 Gm
Questions there were few
    D#
In fact there were none
 Gm                                    D
When those Sheriff's bullets start to fly
         D
He lay dying on the floor
         Gm
With a smokin' forty-four
             D#              D          Gm
He said, "I must admit the winos were right"
 
 
[Outro Chorus]
Gm
Crazy little child
 D#
Never got to see
 Gm                       D
All the pretty things in life
     D
We buried him today
  Gm
Nothing we could say
       D#           D      Gm
Could ever make the pieces fit
         D#              D          Gm
Yeah, I must admit the winos were right
       D#               D          Gm
Oh, I must admit the winos were right
 
His last words were
 
  D#             D D D D         Gm Gm Gm Gm
I must admit the winos we-ere ri-ight
