The Felice Brothers – Jack Reminiscing (Guitar)

C             G         C
Well my pa was always in gloom

F       G               C
And his hat was made of raccoon

F      G            C
He was drunk in the afternoon

C            G
Nearly every day

C      G               C
And his mind was like a trap

F        G           C
Where he kept a hand-drawn map

F      G         C
How to get to the Arkansas flats

C                 G
From the lights of Broadway

F       G               C
And the holy men always say

F     G          C
We'll meet again someday

F       G               C
In that city beyond the stars

C           G
In a golden café

C             G       C
Oh my ma, she loved him so

F         G                 C
And she'd make him a cup of joe

F        G               C
And he'd drink it like an Eskimo

C                   G
As his children did play

C        G                    C
And she'd bake him a mincemeat pie

F        G                       C
And he'd drink when his mouth was dry

F      G                    C
And he died on the fourth of July

C             G
In a firework display

F       G               C
And the holy men always say

F     G          C
We'll meet again someday

F       G               C
In that city beyond the stars

C           G
In a golden café

C      G           C
Oh, I was an Eagle Scout

F     G                      C
With a trumpet, I'd stomp and shout

F      G                     C
And I'd sing of the Arkansas trout

C                    G
And I'd sleep in the hay, hey

C           G         C
But now I'm always in gloom

F      G              C
And my hat is made of raccoon

F       G             C
And I'm drunk in the afternoon

C            G
Nearly every day

F       G               C
And the holy men always say

F     G          C
We'll meet again someday

F       G               C
In that city beyond the stars

C           G
