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 snowdrops 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 ---

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 you 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 mistlethrush is coming.

Jack, put out the light
