A D AWhen we first met I didn't know what to do
D AMy old love lines were all worn out on you
D D/C# BmAnd the world walked round at my mouth
A E AThey lit me up and they snuffed me out
Chorus
A E AAnd I was everybody's boy
D D/C# BmBut soon that thrill just fades
D E A E F#mTo be the love of one true heart
D E AOr the Jack of all parades
[Do opening riff here]
AYou won't know who to thank
D AYou won't know who to blame
D AIt's just a part of the Murdering Game
Cos down in the fleshpots
D AWhere they pay you in pounds
They're laughing like drains
D AAnd baying like bloodhounds
D D/C# BmFor the Jack of all parades
D E A A7The Jack of all parades
DOnce I knew a girl
DmThat looked so much like Judy Garland
AThat people would stop and give her money
D Dm And everybody was Frankie, Jimmy or Bobby
A ENot the Jack, the Jack of all Parades,
A D EOh the Jack, the Jack of all Parades,
A E AOh the Jack, of all Parades.
[Intro riff again]
A D ANow the way that I feel is no longer news
D AYou know my love and how to refuse it
Cause you know where the door is
D AAnd how to use it
D D/C# BmOh you know you do
ABut from my chequered past
D ATo this shattered terrace
Where you can't keep your mind off
D Athe Crimes of Paris
And you can't keep your peace
D AAnd try to forget it
And I can't forgive you
D AFor things you haven't done yet
A E AOh I was anybody's boy
D D/C# BmBut soon that thrill just fades
D E A E F#mTo be the love of one true heart
D E AOr 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# BmAnd the world walked 'round my mouth
AI didn't mean to say it
E AI just blurted it out
D D/C#As you pretended not to notice
BmOr be taken aback
E AAnd I loved you there and then
E AIt's as simple as that
A E AOh I was everybody's boy
D D/C# BmBut soon that thrill just fades
D E A E F#mTo be the love of one true heart
D E AOr the Jack of all parades
A E A E F#mTo be the love of one true heart
D E AOr the Jack of all parades
D E AOh the Jack of all parades
