[Verse 1]
E                D            A                  E
  I know you and you know me, we met many years ago
       E                     D              A                       E
in the halls of some ivy covered university   where we both used to go.
E                          D
  Now we stand outside the Denmark Hotel
     A                     E
with Japanese men in their business suits.
     E                                D
It's midnight, you're talking to some Frenchman
      A                    E
about who does what to you know who.

[Chorus]
             D   E                  D        E
You want the big jack, you want the   sky to crack,
         D                         E            D     E
you want something that's going to give you the   big jack.
             D   E              D        E
You want the big jack, hell, we all want that,
         D            E            D   E
you want something to give you the big jack.

[Verse 2]
E                     D                        A                         E
  You say you want to go somewhere where your ideals were much more than luxuries.
    E                        D
And just like some great old paining
              A                 E
you set there so smug with your hands between your knees.

[Chorus]
             D   E                  D        E
You want the big jack, you want the   sky to crack,
         D            E            D     E
you want something to give you the   big jack.
             D   E              D        E
You want the big jack, hell, we all want that,
         D            E            D   E
you want something to give you the big jack.

[Verse 3]
E                     D
  So, go back down to that Mississippi town
A                           E
where you come from, have a big time tonight,
E                             D
  I can still see you in your father's coat
   A                    E
on the delta shore that he once owned.
E                   D                A                  E
  I want to be your father's coat, I want you, girl, to marry me.

[Chorus]
           D   E                D        E
I want the big jack, I want the   sky to crack,
       D            E           D     E
I want something to give me the   big jack.
           D   E              D        E
I want the big jack, hell, we all want that,
       D            E         D         E
I want something to give me a   heart attack.

[End-Chorus]
           D   E              D        E
I want the big jack, yeah, we all want that,
        D            E           D     E
we want something to give us the   big jack.
           D   E                D        E
I want the big jack, I want the   sky to crack,
       D            E           D     E
I want something to give me the   big jack.
