Have you seen Jack-In-The-Green?
C G A
With his long tail hanging down.
C D A
He sits quietly under every tree ---
C G A
in the folds of his velvet gown.
C D A
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
C G A
the dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
C D A
And taps his cane upon the ground ---
C G A
signals the snowdrops it's time to grow.
C D A
It's no fun being Jack-In-The-Green ---
C G A
no place to dance, no time for song.
C D A
He wears the colours of the summer soldier ---
C G A
carries the green flag all the winter long.
Bm
Jack, do you never sleep ---
E A
does the green still run deep in your heart?
Bm
Or will these changing times,
E A
motorways, powerlines,keep us apart?
D E
Well, I don't think so ---
D E A
I saw some grass growing through the pavements today.
C D A
The rowan, the oak and the holly tree
C G A
Are the charges left for you to groom.
C D A
Each blade of grass whispers Jack-In-The-Green.
C G A
Oh Jack, please help me through my winter's night.
C D A
And we are the berries on the holly tree.
C G A
Oh, the mistlethrush is coming.
C A
Jack, put out the light.
