Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]Jan[D5]gling Jac[D]k
Goes yackety yack
Visits the home of the [E5]brave
[E]Hails a [E5]fat yellow cab
Jack wanna celebrate
[D]Jack wanna big drink
Driver drops him at [E5]a bar
Called The Rinky Dink
Jack pushes through the [D]door
And he crosses [Dm]the floor
Tips his hat to a [G]man
Grinning in the corner
Going do da [E5]do
Going do da do
Going do da [B]do
Going do da do

[Verse 2]
Says, I'm Jangling [D]Jack
I go do da do
I wanna Rinky Dink [E5]special
I wanna little umbrella too
And he flops [E]on his [D]stool
Sees the grinning man laugh
So Jack laughs [E5]back
Jack raises his glass
Says, God bless this [D]country
And [D5]everything [D]in it
The losers and the [G]winners
The good guys and the sinners
The grinning [G5]man says, b[E5]uddy
It's all yackety yack
Whips out a little black [B]pistol
Shoots a bullet in Jack

[Verse 3]
Aw yeah now [D]Jangling
[A5]Jack do da do, do da do
[Dm]Jangling [A5]Jack do da do do [G]do

[Dm]Jangling [Am]Jack do da [A5]do d[G5]o do,[A5]
[E5]woo

[Verse 4]
[E5]
Jangling [D]Jack flies off his [Dm]seat
Crashes through [D]the [E5]door
Lands in a heap on the street
Hears his mother's [D]voice
Going, [Dm]do da do
Jack is shouting
[D]"Mommy, [E5]mommy,
mommy is that you?"
He sees the berserk [D]city
[Dm]Sees the dead stacked in piles
Sees the screaming [D]crowd
[G]Screams, "Where am I?"
Going do da [E5]do
Going do da do
Going do da [B]do
Going do da do

[Verse 5]
Oh yeah [D]Jangling

[G]woo
[E5]

[Verse 6]
Mommy, mommy
Well, [B]I'm Jangling

[Verse 7]
[D]Jack
As [Dm]a matter of fact
Crawls [D]through the [E5]crowd
Back into the bar
Jack crawls to [E]his [Dm]stool
[D]Jack drags himself [Dm]up
Falls back down on [D]his as[E5]s
In a puddle of blood
Going goodbye [E]mummy[D]
Goodbye goodbye
[Dm]Then Jack [D]doubles [G]over
And he vomits and dies
Going do da [E5]do
Going do da do
Going do da [B]do
Going do da do
Oh yeah
[D]Jangling [Am]Jack do da do, do da [A5]do
[D]Jangling [Am]Jack do da do do [G]do
[D]Jangling [Dm]Jack [Am]do da do,
do da do
[D]Jangling Jack do da do do do
