Intro: G       D

Bb       F        Cadd9       G
Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
 Bb       F                 G
-With his long tail hanging down.
Bb         F          Cadd9 G
He quietly sits under every tree
Bb     F                   G
In the folds of his velvet gown.
Bb        F              Cadd9 G
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
Bb           F              G
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
Bb     F             Cadd9
And he taps his cane upon the 
    G
ground-
Bb         F                     
Signal the snow drops, it's time 
   G
to grow.

G      D

Bb      F         Cadd9       G
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
Bb          F                  G
No place to dance, no time for song.
Bb           F              Cadd9
He wears the colours of the summer 
  G
soldier;
Bb          F                     
Carries the green flag all winter 
G
long.


G     D

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


(A verse with humming)

Bb             F            Cadd9
The Rowan, the Oak, and the Holly 
 G
tree
Bb              F               
Are the changes left for him to 
G
groom.

G      D

Bb            F            
Each blade of grass whispers, 
    Cadd9       G
"Jack-in-the-Green."
Bb               F               
"Oh Jack, please help me through 
           G
my winters night."
Bb              F                 
And-"We are the berries the on the
 Cadd9 G
 Holly tree:
Bb             F                 
Oh, the Mistle Thrust is coming, 
                  G
Jack, put out the light."
