C C G G D D A A
Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
C C G G A A
-With his long tail hanging down.
C C G G D D A A
He quietly sits under every tree
C C G G A A
In the folds of his velvet gown.
C C G G D D A A
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
C C G G A A
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
C C G G D D A A
And he taps his cane upon the ground-
C C G G A A
Signal the snow drops, it's time to grow.

A A E E

C C G G D D A A
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
C C G G A A
No place to dance, no time for song.
C C G G D D A A
He wears the colours of the summer soldier;
C C G G A A
Carries the green flag all winter long.


A A E E

Bm Bm E E A A
Jack, do you ever sleep-does the green still run in your heart?
Bm Bm E E A A
or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines, keep us apart?
E E A A
Well, I don't think so.
E E A A
I saw some grass growing through the pavement today.



C C G G D D A A
The Rowan, the Oak, and the Holly tree
C C G G A A
Are the changes left for him to groom.

A A E E

C C G G D D A A
Each blade of grass whispers, "Jack-in-the-Green."
C C G G A A
"Oh Jack, please help me through my winters night."
C C G G D D A A
And-"We are the berries the on the Holly tree:
C C G G A A
Oh, the Mistle Thrust is coming, Jack, put out the light."
