The House That Jack Built Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]This is the house that Jack built,
y'all

[Verse 2]
Remember this house!
[G]This was the land that
he worked by hand
[C]It was the dream of an upright man
[G]There was the room that was filled with love
It [C]was a love that I was proud of
[D]This was a life of a love he planned
On a [C]love the same ol' love
In the house [G]that Jack built
(The house that Jack built)
Remember this [C]house!

[Verse 3]
[G]There was the fence that held
[C]our love (yes it was)
There was the gate that
he walked out of
[G]This is the heart that is turned
to stone (yes it is)
[C]This was the house, but it ain't no home
[D]This is the love that I once had
In a [C]dream that I thought was love
In the house [G]that Jack
built (the house that Jack built)
I'm gonn' remember this house!
[C]Oh-ohh wha-a-at

[Verse 4]
[F]is is is is the
use of cry[G]ing?
You know I [F]brought it on myself
There's no deny[G]ing
But it [F]see-e-ee-ems awful awful
awful awful [G]funny
That I [A]didn't understand
Was [D]it a house of [G]an upright man?

[Verse 5]
Up on the hill There's a big [C]plan
still
In the house [G]that Jack built
(The house that Jack built)
I'm gonn' remember
this [C]house
(The house that Jack built)

[Verse 6]
[G]Listen!
I got the house
I got the car
[C]I got the rug
And I got the rack
But [G]I ain't got Jack (Jack)
(I ain't got Jack, Jack)
And I want my [C]Jack back!

[Verse 7]
I [F]turned[G][A][D]
[G]
my back on Jack
He said he wasn't coming [C]back
I turned my back on Jack
He said he wasn't coming [G]back
Ohhh, Jack
Ohh! [C]Come on back
Ohh Jack
Oh [G]come on back
You oughtta [C]come on back (Come on back,
Jack)
To the one [G]that you built (Come on back,
Jack)
It's the same one [C]you built (Come on back,
Jack)
You oughtta come on back
[G](Come on back, Jack)
Oh [C]come back
Come on, come on, [G]come on
I didn't understand
Until I [C]lost my upright man
Come on back[G],
Jack [C](Come on back, Jack)
