This is the house that Jack built, y'all
Ab
/ / / / / / / /Remember this house
Verse 1:
Ab This was the land that he worked by hand Db It was the dream of an upright man Ab There was the room that was filled with love Db It was a love that I was proud of Eb7 This is the life, the life that he planned Db7 On the love, the same old love Ab In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built)
Remember this house
Verse 2:
There was a fence that held our love (yes, it was)
There was the gate that he walked out of
This is the heart, it has turned to stone (yes, it is)
This is a house, it ain't no home
This was a love that I destroyed
On the day that I toyed with love
In the house that Jack built
I'm gonna remember this house
Bridge:
Gb Ab Oh, what is the use of crying Gb Ab You know I brought it on myself, there's no denying Gb Ab But it seems awful funny Bb7 That I didn't understand Eb7 Until I lost my upright man
Verse 3:
Ab Db Up on the hill everything stands still Ab In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built) Db I'm gonna remember this house (the house that Jack built) Ab Listen - I got the house, I got the car Db I got the rugs and I got the rent Ab But I ain't got Jack
And I want my Jack back
Horn break:
Gb Ab Bb7 Eb7 / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Coda:
Ab Db I turned my back on Jack, he said he wasn't comin' back Ab I turned my back on Jack, he said he wasn't comin' back Ab Db (continue) Oh, Jack, you oughta come on back
Oh, Jack you oughta come on back (come on back, Jack)
To the one that you built - it's the same one you built
You oughta come on back, Jack oh, now Jack
I didn't understand 'til I lost my upright man
Come on back, Jack you oughta come on home now (fade)
