"The House That Jack Built"
(Bob Lance - Fran Robbins)
Intro:
[acapella:]
This is the house that Jack built, y'all
Ab
/ / / / / / / /
Remember this house
Verse 1:
TAbhis was the land that he worked by hand
DbIt was the dream of an upright man
TAbhere was the room that was filled with love
DbIt was a love that I was proud of
TEb7his is the life, the life that he planned
On the Db7love, the same old love
In the house that AbJack built (the house that Jack built)
Remember this house
Verse 2:
There was a fence that held our love (yes, it was)
There was the gate that he walked out of
This is the heart, it has turned to stone (yes, it is)
This is a house, it ain't no home
This was a love that I destroyed
On the day that I toyed with love
In the house that Jack built
I'm gonna remember this house
Bridge:
Oh, wGbhat is the use of cAbrying
You know I brGbought it on myself, there's no dAbenying
But it sGbeems awful fAbunny
That I dBb7idn't understand
Until I Eb7lost my upright man
Verse 3:
Ab Up on the hill everything stands sDbtill
In the house that JAback built (the house that Jack built)
I'm gonna remember this hDbouse (the house that Jack built)
Listen - I got the hAbouse, I got the car
DbI got the rugs and I got the rent
But I aAbin't got Jack
And I want my Jack back
Horn break:
Gb Ab Bb7 Eb7
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Coda:
I tuAbrned my back on Jack, he said he wasn't comin' bDback
I turned my back on Jack, he said he wasn't comin' bAback
Ab Db [continue]
Oh, Jack, you oughta come on back
Oh, Jack you oughta come on back (come on back, Jack)
To the one that you built - it's the same one you built
You oughta come on back, Jack oh, now Jack
I didn't understand 'til I lost my upright man
Come on back, Jack you oughta come on home now [fade]
