Lyrics

[Intro]
| D | - | - |

[Verse 1]
      D                       A     D
Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
                            A       D
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man

[Verse 2]
    D
The kids would all sing,
         A        D
he would take the wrong key
                                  A     D
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

[Chorus]
    G
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
     A
They tried, tried, tried
     G
They dropped things on his back
    A
And lied, lied, lied, lied, lied

[Verse 3]
         D
But they couldn't stop Jack,
       A      D
or the waters lapping
                                    A       D
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
         D
But they couldn't stop Jack,
       A      D
or the waters lapping
                                    A       D
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy

[Chorus]
    G
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
     A
They tried, tried, tried
     G
They dropped things on his back
    A
And lied, lied, lied, lied, lied

[Verse 5]
         D
But they couldn't stop Jack,
       A      D
or the waters lapping
                                    A       D
And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy
