Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Jackie went to high [D]school
In a little Texas town
He finished up and spent the most of
next year bummin' [G]around
He couldn't find a job to hold
So on a Friday [D]night
He figured he could see the world
and buy a 4- wheel drive
If he'd join the [C]army[G]
Cause these are desperate times
[D]

[Verse 2]
Well he came back four years later
A little higher off the ground
Things there hadn't changed
And that just really got him [Em]down[D]
[G]So he went off to San Antone
An hour to [D]the east
And got a job workin' for
the San Antone police
Well he had a pis[C]tol [G]now
Cause these are desperate [D]times

[Verse 3]
[D]Well ol Jackie he got married
But his ends they wouldn't meet
His wife worked at the Texas
Commerce Bank just up the street
[G]Jackie got an idea
To get him outta debt
[D]And they could live the good life
And drive a new Corvette
If he'd rob the [C]bank [G]he said
Cause these are desperate times
[D]

[Verse 4]
Well [G]he had planned the whole thing
And while his baby [D]worked
He came in after hours
In a black ski mask and shirt
[G]She told him where the money was
And thats just where he [D]went
The minute that he saw it he
already had it spent
Well it wasn't [C]easy[G]
But these are desperate times
[D]

[Interlude 1]

[G][D]

[Verse 5]
Well [D]he drove off to Bandera
Cause that was his hometown
He had it in his mind just where
he'd lay that money [G]down
He went out to his mom's house
And Jack went up the hill
[D]To bury that old suitcase full
of hundred dollar bills
Well he'd let it [C]sit [G]a while
Cause these are desperate times
[D]

[Verse 6]
Well the [G]bank they called the g- men
Cause they [D]were insured by the [G]Fed
[D]And Jill she rolled on Jack
Cause she was in above her head
[G]The g- men gave Jack wind of this
When they made his arrest
And he [D]asked her why she turned
on the one that she loved best
Well it wasn't [C]easy [G]Jack
But these are desperate times
[D]

[Verse 7]
Yeah ain't that what you
al[C]ways [G]said
