C[inCstrFumeCntal]C C G C C C F C C C G C Now back then Jackson was a real small town And it's not every night a comet comes around It was almost eighty years since its last time through So I bet your mother would've said "amen" too
As its tail stretched out like a stardust streak The papers wrote about it every day for a week They wondered where it's going and where it's been When Halley came to Jackson in 1910

It Gcame from the Geast, just as Cbright as a Ctorch She Fsaw it in the Csky from her Gdaddy's Cporch G G Am F [pause] As heavenly sent as it was back then When CHalley came to AmJackson in Gnineteen Cten
