Dolly Parton – Cracker Jack (Guitar)

A            D
Once I had a little dog

  E                  A
I called him Cracker Jack

               D
He had a spot around one eye

     E                  A
That looked just like a patch

           D                A
And he was awkward as could be

   D              A
He wasn't much to look at

       E                 A
But he looked alright to me

  A                D
I found him by the river bank

     E          A
Just wandering about

                D
He was cold and hungry

        E                  A
And his ribs were sticking out

        D                  A
When he came, I picked him up

D            A
I was just a kid

            E               A
And Cracker Jack was just a pup

  A                 D
I took him home and fed him

        E               A
'Til he couldn't eat no more

                 D
I took him to my room

          E              A
And put a blanket on the floor

   D                 A
Is where he'd always sleep

D                A
Each night in my prayers

             E                A
I'd pray the lord his soul to keep

        D
Cracker Jack

                                    A
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack

           E
But he was more than that

       A
He was love and understanding

         D
That was Cracker Jack

                                    A
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack

           E
But he was more than that

                 A
I had in Cracker Jack

Bb                 Eb
Cracker Jack would run to meet me

F                 Bb
After school each day

                      Eb
He'd jump and wag his tail

            F           Bb
And look at me as if to say

        Eb               Bb
And I'm glad you're home again"

  Eb               Bb
I knew just how he felt

              F                Bb
'Cause me and Cracker Jack was friends

                      Eb
Through the woods and fields

         F           Bb
We would often roam about

                   Eb
And when we got in trouble

         F               Bb
We would help each other out

                              Eb                 Bb
I could run almost as fast as Cracker Jack could run

   Eb           Bb
We had a lot in common

       F            Bb
And we had a lot of fun

              Eb
He was always with me

     F             Bb
When I was growing up

                       Eb
We shared each other's good times

       F                   Bb
And we shared each other's love

    Eb            Bb
But often I think back

Eb             Bb
To the days of childhood

    F               Bb
The days of Cracker Jack

        Eb
