Jack In The Green by Jethro Tull
Jack In The Green
Capo:no capo
I'll start this by saying that there is a capo on the second fret.
I will still call the strings EADGBE. The chords will be as if the
capo wasn't there.

Intro: G D
Bb F Cadd9 G
Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
Bb F G
-With his long tail hanging down.
Bb F Cadd9 G
He quietly sits under every tree
Bb F G
In the folds of his velvet gown.
Bb F Cadd9 G
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
Bb F G
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
Bb F Cadd9 G
And he taps his cane upon the ground-
Bb F G
Signal the snow drops, it's time to grow.
G D
Bb F Cadd9 G
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
Bb F G
No place to dance, no time for song.
Bb F Cadd9 G
He wears the colours of the summer soldier;
Bb F G
Carries the green flag all winter long.
G D
Am D G
Jack, do you ever sleep-does the green still run in your heart?
Am D G
or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines, keep us apart?
D G
Well, I don't think so.
D G
I saw some grass growing through the pavement today.
(A verse with humming)
Bb F Cadd9 G
The Rowan, the Oak, and the Holly tree
Bb F G
Are the changes left for him to groom.
G D
Bb F Cadd9 G
Each blade of grass whispers, "Jack-in-the-Green."
Bb F G
"Oh Jack, please help me through my winters night."
Bb F Cadd9 G
And-"We are the berries the on the Holly tree:
Bb F G
Oh, the Mistle Thrust is coming, Jack, put out the light."
Have you seen Jack-in-the-Green?
With his long tail hanging down.
He sits quietly under every tree
In the folds of his velvet gown.
He drinks from the empty acorn cup.
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
And taps his cane upon the ground -
Signals the snow drops, it's time to grow
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
No place to dance, no time for song.
He wears the colours of the summer soldier;
And carries the green flag all the winter long.
Jack do you never sleep - does the green still run deep in your heart?
Or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines, keep us apart?
Well, I don't think so.
I saw some grass growing through the pavements today.
The Rowan, the Oak and the Holly tree
Are the charges left for him to groom.
Each blade of grass whispers, "Jack-in-the-Green."
"Oh Jack, please help me through my winter's night."
And - "We are the berries on the Holly tree:
Oh, the Mistle Thrush is coming. Jack, put out the light!"
