The House That Jack Built

I knew a man named Jack, who built a
 little shack,
  E                       B7
A house he could call his home.
E                         A
Love came callin', pretty soon he 
was fallin'
       E              B7    E
And he didn't have to live alone.


         E                     A
Well her name was Jill and she made 
Jack feel
       E                      B7
Like a king in a mansion on a hill.
    E                 A
And for a while, they loved in 
style,
E             B7         E
Livin' in the house that Jack built.


         B7                  
It was a red-brick shack on a 
               A                 
country acre, flower boxes in the 
  B7    E
windowsill.
B7                         
Picket fence, it was picture 
           A              B7
perfect, every room was filled with
E           A
Love, love, sweet sweet love,
E             B7         E
Livin' in the house that Jack built.
