Jack Of All Parades

• A

  A              Dm                  A 
When we first met I didn't know what to do 
                           Dm          A 
My old love lines were all worn out on you 
        D            D/C#        Bm 
And the world walked round at my mouth 
     A                  E          A 
They lit me up and they snuffed me out 


    A     E           A 
And 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 

Do opening riff here 

          A 
You won't know who to thank 
          Dm          A 
You won't know who to blame 
                        Dm        A 
It's just a part of the Murdering Game 

'Cos down in the fleshpots 
           Dm         A 
Where they pay you in pounds 

They're laughing like drains 
    Dm          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                  Dm        A 
Now the way that I feel is no longer news 
                     Dm     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 
   Dm             A 
To this shattered terrace 

Where you can't keep your mind off 
    Dm        A 
the Crimes of Paris 

And you can't keep your peace 
    Dm     A 
And try to forget it 

And I can't forgive you 
    Dm                 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
