Jack of All Parades

Do opening riff here

A

You won't know who to thank

D A

You won't know who to blame

D A

It's just a part of the Murdering Game

Cos down in the fleshpots

D A

Where they pay you in pounds

They're laughing like drains

D A

And baying like bloodhounds

D D/C# Bm

For the Jack of all parades

D E A A7

The Jack of all parades

D

Once I knew a girl

Dm

That looked so much like Judy Garland

A

That people would stop and give her money

D Dm

And everybody was Frankie, Jimmy or Bobby

A E

Not the Jack, the Jack of all Parades,

A D E

Oh the Jack, the Jack of all Parades,

A E A

Oh the Jack, of all Parades.

Intro riff again

A D A

Now the way that I feel is no longer news

D A

You know my love and how to refuse it

Cause you know where the door is

D A

And how to use it

D D/C# Bm

Oh you know you do

A

But from my chequered past

D A

To this shattered terrace

Where you can't keep your mind off

D A

the Crimes of Paris

And you can't keep your peace

D A

And try to forget it

And I can't forgive you

D A

For things you haven't done yet

A E A

Oh I was anybody's boy

D D/C# Bm

But soon that thrill just fades

D E A E F#m

To be the love of one true heart

D E A

Or the Jack of all parades

A [tacet]

When we first met I didn't know what to do

A [tacet]

My old love lines were all worn out on you

D D/C# Bm

And the world walked 'round my mouth

A

I didn't mean to say it

E A

I just blurted it out

D D/C#

As you pretended not to notice

Bm

Or be taken aback

E A

And I loved you there and then

E A

It's as simple as that

A E A

Oh I was everybody's boy

D D/C# Bm

But soon that thrill just fades

D E A E F#m

To be the love of one true heart

D E A

Or the Jack of all parades

A E A E F#m

To be the love of one true heart

D E A

Or the Jack of all parades

D E A

Oh the Jack of all parades
