[Verse 1]
He was [G]born in 18[C]90,
on the [G]Gulf of Mexi[C]co
[G]Fought his way a[C]round the world
with [G]hand, and heart, and [C]soul
He [G]trot out all your [C]Great White Hopes
But they'd [G]better bring a [C]gun
Jack [G]Johnson's made of [C]iron
he's all [G]counter punch and [C]run

[Chorus 1]
Yonder [G]comes Jack [D]Johnson
[G]Like he owns the [C]town
There's a [Bm]lot of white A[Em]mer icans
Like to [Am]see a man [C]go down
Like to [D]see a black man

[Verse 2]
Jack [G]stood on the Ti[C]tanic pier
with a [G]thousand dollar [C]roll
But the [G]captain said, [C]"Sorry boy
[D]we ain't haulin' [C]coal"
So [G]Jack danced the [C]Eagle Rock
in a [G]tavern on the [C]shore
While the [G]captain danced his [C]final dance
on the At[G]lantic Ocean [C]floor

[Chorus 2]
Yonder [G]comes Jack [D]Johnson
[G]Like he owns the [C]town
There's a [Bm]lot of white A[Em]mer icans

Like to [D]see a black man

[Verse 3]
Jack [G]Johnson beat Jim [C]Jeffries,
till [G]there weren't nothin' [C]left
And [G]every time he'd [C]throw a punch
he'd say [G]"Package for [C]Mr. Jeff!"
Then he [G]ran off with some [C]white girl,
[G]man that made 'em [C]mad
[G]All agreed and [C]all decreed,
that [G]Black Man was [C]bad

[Chorus 3]
Yonder [G]comes Jack [D]Johnson

[Verse 4]
Well, I [G]stole a line from [C]Lead Belly
[G]I don't think he'd m[C]ind
'Cause [G]Lead Belly and [C]Jack,
They were [G]cut from the same vine

[Chorus 4]
Yonder [G]comes Jack [D]Johnson
[G]Like he owns the [C]town
There's a [Bm]lot of white A[Em]mer icans
Like to [Am]see a man [C]go down
Like to [D]see a black man
