A D A
When we first met I didn't know what to do
D A
My old love lines were all worn out on you
D D/C# Bm
And the world walked round at my mouth
A E A
They lit me up and they snuffed me out
Chorus
A E A
And I was everybody's boy
D D/C# Bm
But soon that thrill just fades
D E A E F#m
To be the love of one true heart
D E A
Or the Jack of all parades
[Do opening riff here]
A
You won't know who to thank
D A
You won't know who to blame
D A
It's just a part of the Murdering Game
Cos down in the fleshpots
D A
Where they pay you in pounds
They're laughing like drains
D A
And baying like bloodhounds
D D/C# Bm
For the Jack of all parades
D E A A7
The Jack of all parades
D
Once I knew a girl
Dm
That looked so much like Judy Garland
A
That people would stop and give her money
D Dm
And everybody was Frankie, Jimmy or Bobby
A E
Not the Jack, the Jack of all Parades,
A D E
Oh the Jack, the Jack of all Parades,
A E A
Oh the Jack, of all Parades.
[Intro riff again]
A D A
Now the way that I feel is no longer news
D A
You know my love and how to refuse it
Cause you know where the door is
D A
And how to use it
D D/C# Bm
Oh you know you do
A
But from my chequered past
D A
To this shattered terrace
Where you can't keep your mind off
D A
the Crimes of Paris
And you can't keep your peace
D A
And try to forget it
And I can't forgive you
D A
For things you haven't done yet
A E A
Oh I was anybody's boy
D D/C# Bm
But soon that thrill just fades
D E A E F#m
To be the love of one true heart
D E A
Or the Jack of all parades
A [tacet]
When we first met I didn't know what to do
A [tacet]
My old love lines were all worn out on you
D D/C# Bm
And the world walked 'round my mouth
A
I didn't mean to say it
E A
I just blurted it out
D D/C#
As you pretended not to notice
Bm
Or be taken aback
E A
And I loved you there and then
E A
It's as simple as that
A E A
Oh I was everybody's boy
D D/C# Bm
But soon that thrill just fades
D E A E F#m
To be the love of one true heart
D E A
Or the Jack of all parades
A E A E F#m
To be the love of one true heart
D E A
Or the Jack of all parades
D E A
Oh the Jack of all parades
