  Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man

     D            D           A7      D

  He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man

  

  [intro riff]

  

      D              D              A7       D

  The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key

          D           D             A7    D

  So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

      G        

  The kids couldn't hurt Jack

       A

  They tried and tried and tried

       G

  They dropped things on his back

      Asus4             A                 Asus4    A

  And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

  

  But they couldn't stop Jack or the waters lapping

  And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

  

  | A    | D    | A    | D    | A    | D    | A    | D   Dsus4 |

  

  But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping

  And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

  | A A  | A A  | A A  | A A  | A.......

  

  The kids couldn't hurt Jack

  They tried and tried and tried

  They dropped things on his back

  And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

  

  But they couldn't stop Jack or the waters lapping

  And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
