Jack And Jill Chords

(ver. 1)
Scott Mcwatt
CAPO 2

Intro

D       (Dsus 4 hammer on)              

Verse 1

D                 G     
Sits alone in his chair by the fire 
     Bm                   A (Asus 4 hammer on)
Sips the whisky from his glass
D                    G  
The old man savours every last taste
           Bm                         A  (Asus 4 hammer on)
Because he knows that it could be his last
Bm                   D  
Starts to write a letter to his love
        A                            G
He says I’m sorry darling I blame myself
Bm                                   D  
I can’t quite understand what you’re going through
         A                                E
But I’ll try to carry on because there’s little left to do
E                     (Esus4)
There’s little left to do without you

Chorus

G                                  D                       A
If you’re a bird then I’m a bird I don’t want to go on without you 
G                                  D                           A
Cos I’ll be Jack and you’ll be Jill I don’t think we’ve got far to go

D       Dsus4

Verse 2

D                           G   
She sits despondent in her world by the window
Bm                        A
Undiscerning the world outside
D                     G
As her memory’s are depleting
        Bm                             A
She regresses and becomes more like a child
Bm                    D 
And every person or relation that happens to be
  A                          G
She knows she recognises but she just doesn’t see
Bm                      D       
And sometimes when she looks at the old man
A
As he says I love you darling
                   E
She smiles because she knows she’s his darling
E      (Esus4)

Chorus

G                                  D                       A
If you’re a bird then I’m a bird I don’t want to go on without you 
G                                  D                           A
Cos Ill be Jack and you’ll be Jill I don’t think we’ve got far to go

Instrumental

G                                  D                       A

G                                  D                       A

Verse 3
          Bm                     D      
It’s been 60 years and now these winters are getting so cold
         A                            G
I didn’t realise that we had grown so old
Bm                       D      
If only the mind could rewind
                  A
Then she could go back to the old man
               E
And they could share a glass of wine
     Esus4                 E
And find a way to pass the time

End Chorus

G                                  D                       A
If you’re a bird then I’m a bird I don’t want to go on without you 
G                                  D                           A
Cos Ill be Jack and you’ll be Jill I don’t think we’ve got far to go

G                                  D                       A
If you’re a bird then I’m a bird I don’t want to go on without you
