The Velvet Underground - Little Jack: chords

E                B            D           E
I was raised in better days, mostly by myself
E            B                D               E
No-one ever took the time or was inclined to help
E                     B               D                E
Mother dear, she was never near, she left me to the street
E                     B                  D               E
A little boy who was not too tall, with dirty hands and feet

Chorus:
 G                    D               A           E
Little old jack, you best stay back, susie keep away
 G              D               A                 E
No my life was lily-white, it's all I heard them say
     B
Hey hey

Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a missus and a child
Though my dear, it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back

Chorus:
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say
Hey hey get it!

Now I'm grown, I'm on my own, running free and wild
Not inclined to be entwined with a missus and a child
Though my dear, it may seem queer, it keeps me in the black
Should you depart to break my heart, don't bother looking back

Chorus:
Little Old Jack, you best stay back; Susie keep away
Though my life was lily-white
It's all I heard them say
Hey hey oh!

Little Old Jack, you best stay back
(Susie keep away)
Yeah, though my life was lily-white,
(It's all I heard them say)
Little Old Jack, you best stay back
(Susie keep away)
Yeah, Little Old Jack, you best stay back
(it's all I heard them say)
Woah! Little Old Jack, you best stay back
(Susie keep away)
Yeah, Little Old Jack, you best get back
(it's all I heard them say)
Little Old Jack...
