Jack In The Green

• C

C              D           A  
Have you seen Jack-In-The-Green?  
C         G                  A  
With his long tail hanging down.  
C              D               A  
C         G                  A  
  in the folds of his velvet gown.  
C              D               A  
He drinks from the empty acorn cup  
C         G                  A  
  the dew that dawn sweetly bestows.  
C              D               A  
  C                G                  A  
  signals the snowdrops it's time to grow.  
C              D               A  
 C             G                  A  
  no place to dance, no time for song.  
C                            D              A  
 C                 G                      A  
  carries the green flag all the winter long.  
Bm  
E                        A  
does the green still run deep in your heart?  
Bm  
Or will these changing times,  
E                       A  
  motorways, powerlines,keep us apart?  
D                E  
D              E                                A  
I saw some grass growing through the pavements today.  
 
REST THE SAME  
 
The rowan, the oak and the holly tree  
  are the charges left for you to groom.  
Each blade of grass whispers Jack-In-The-Green.  
Oh Jack, please help me through my winter's night.  
And we are the berries on the holly tree.  
Oh, the mistlethrush is coming.  
Jack, put out the light.
