VERSE 1

Am                        C       
Down my old local there's always a 
 G
man
       Am                     
With a squint in his eye and a 
 F            G
working mans tan
     Am                        C  
Just listen a while and you'll be 
     G
entertained
    Am                       F    
But don't interrupt, you may ne'er
      G
 walk again
           Am                      
'Cause his hands may be cracked and
     G
 his eyes may be pale
   C                          F
He may not look long for this world
         Am
When the world's on your back
         G
just sit down with Old Jack
          F                      C
And he'll tell you tall tales of old


CHORUS

          F
He'll say away with you boy

don't go wasting your time
             C                    
y' should be living your live for 
G
yourself
           F
'cause the very next day

they could take you away
        C                       
and you won't have no stories to 
 G
tell.
    F
But seein' as you're here

won't you buy us a beer
         C                      G
and I'll tell you a favorite of mine
    F                 G
"Go out and live your life

another time"

      Am                           
He'll regale you with tales through
     C            G
 the smoke of his pipe
           Am                    
then he'll show you some proof of 
     F             G
his well-traveled life

    Am                   C     
The unicorns horn or the gold he 
          G
brought back
     Am                       
just keep your mouth shut when 
        F             G
you're down with Old Jack
           Am                      
'Cause his hands may be cracked and
     G
 his eyes may be pale
   C                          F
He may not look long for this world

When the world's on your back

VERSE 3

       Am                    C 
I went down to my local just the 
        G
other day
     Am                        F  
they told me Old Jack had been 
   G
taken away
    Am                     C      
The hospital bed found him cold in
     G
 the night
    Am                         F  
and snatched him away while he 
          G
clung to his pipe
        Am                      
and his skin was so pale and his 
 G
eyes wired shut
    C                    F
his story had come to an end
     Am
As I walked out the door
      G
I was shattered and torn
    F                          C
I remembered the last words he said


CHORUS

         F
He said away with you boy

don't go wasting your time
             C                    
y' should be living your live for 
G
yourself
           F
'cause the very next day

they could take you away
        C                       
and you won't have no stories to 
 G
tell.
