[Intro] G D C F Bbmaj7 F Bbmaj7 [Verse]
F                               Bbmaj7
Saturday night and you're still hangin' around 

F                       Bbmaj7
Tired of livin' in your one-horse town 

F                           Bbmaj7
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground 

      Am         C
For a while u-hm-hm 

F                                Bbmaj7
So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans 

F                            Bbmaj7
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens 

F                           Bbmaj7
It's like some pornographic magazine 

        Am         D
And you smile u-hm-hm 
[Chorus]
G       D         G/B     C            D
Captain Jack will get you high tonight 

G            D       G/B     C
And take you to your special island 

G       D         G/B     C          D
Captain Jack will get you by tonight 

G             D        G/B       C
Just a little push and you'll be smilin' 
F Bbmaj7 F Bbmaj7 [Verse]
F                       Bbmaj7
Your sister's gone out, she's on a date 

F                        Bbmaj7
And you just sit at home and masturbate 

F                                     Bbmaj7
Your phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait 

         Am        C
For that call u-hm-hm 

F                                  Bbmaj7
So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes 

F                                  Bbmaj7
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes 

F                                Bbmaj7
Oh but still your finger's gonna pick your nose 

      Am       D
After all u-hm-hm 
[Chorus]
G       D         G/B     C            D
Captain Jack will get you high tonight 

G            D       G/B     C
And take you to your special island 

G       D         G/B     C          D
Captain Jack will get you by tonight 

G             D        G/B       C
Just a little push and you'll be smilin' 

F  Bbmaj7  F  Bbmaj7

[Verse]
F                       Bbmaj7
So you decide to take a holiday 

F                               Bbmaj7
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet 

F                          Bbmaj7
Ah there ain't no place to go anyway 

         Am       C
And what for u-hm-hm 

F                            Bbmaj7
So you've got everything, ah but nothing's cool 

F                          Bbmaj7
They just found your Father in the swimming pool 

F                                Bbmaj7
And you guess you won't be going back to school 

    Am   D
Any more 
[Chorus]
G       D         G/B     C            D

[Verse]
F                      Bbmaj7
So you play your albums and you smoke your pot 

F                                   Bbmaj7
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot 

F                                             Bbmaj7
Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got 

          Am         C
What went wrong u-hm-hm 

F                                    Bbmaj7
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead 

F                              Bbmaj7
Why you've gotta keep in style and feed your head 

F                                            Bbmaj7
Well you're twenty one and still your Mother makes your bed 

               Am   D
And that's too long Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah-yeah
