Squeeze – Cracker Jack (Guitar)

E      A            E           A             D       A         F#m
Anorak hangs on the back of the door, and the bicycle is in the shed

   E               A       E           A      D          F#m          B
He sits and writes letters most of the day, a bubble hat fixed to his head

            G#m    C#m   G#m     C#m
He's comin' up the hill, looking ever so ill

       A                F#m
And he goes back to his bed

F#           B            E
Cracker Jack lives on his own.

            F#        B     E     A
He wants to spend his life alone, but

    E  A        D     G     D   Bm      E
Has to take the flack for being Cracker Jack

E          A                E          A
In the hot summer when he's out on the lawn

        D              A       F#m
It's so interesting to see him there

   E        A          E          A
Is this a gorilla or a barbershop brush

       D          F#m           B
That's covered in tufts of grey hair?

            G#m    C#m
He's comin' up the road

             G#m    C#m
He's cookin' like a toad

         A                 F#m
He's the head of the Bobby Bell

F#           B            E
Cracker Jack lives on his own.

            F#        B     E     A
He wants to spend his life alone, but

    E  A        D     G     D   Bm      E
Has to take the flack for being Cracker Jack

F#m  F#           C#m
With arms full of cabbages and wellington boots

F#m                 C#m
He's walkin' up the garden to witness the troops

D               G#7
Standing by his roses

B                G#m          F#        E        B
With the cans of spray paint, he shouts out with anger

C#m      B         E
With the face of a saint

    E           A        E             A
The kids layin' waitin', pounds from behind

   D             A            F#m
To scare the old man from his wits

   E               A        E           A
He must have known love sometime in his life

        D            F#m          B
In this jigsaw where nothing much fits

             G#m     C#m           G#m           C#m
He's handing out the sweets, as he tries to make peace

     A                F#m
Just as another stone hits

F#           B            E
Cracker Jack lives on his own.

            F#        B     E     A
He wants to spend his life alone, but

    E  A        D     G     D   Bm      E
Has to take the flack for being Cracker Jack

A       E  A        D     G     D   Bm
But has to take the flack for being Cracker

F#           B            E
Cracker Jack lives on his own.

F#           B            E
Cracker Jack lives on his own.
