Jackie Chords by Scott Walker

[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] And if [A#] one day I should become a singer with a Spanish [G] bum [Dm] who sings for women of great virtue
_ _ [Gm] I'd sing [A#] to them with a guitar I borrowed from [Gm] a coffee bar
Well, what [Dm] you don't know [Gm] doesn't hurt [D] you
[G] My name would be Antonio [Bm]
and all [D] my bridges I would [Em] burn
And when I gave them some [G] they'd know I'd expect [C] something in [D] return
[G] _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] I'd have to get drunk every [C#m] night and talk about [Em] virility
With some old [D] grandmama who might be decked out like a [B] Christmas _ tree _
_ _ [E] And though [Bm] pink elephants I'd see, though I'd be drunk as I [Em] could be
Still I [Bm] would sing my [Em] songs to me about [Am] the time they [G] called me Shaggy
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour [Am] every [D] day
If I could be [C] for just one little hour
[D] A cute, cute in a stupid [Gm] ass [Dm] way _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] And if [A#] I joined the social world, became procurer of young girls
Then I [Dm] would have my own _ bordellos
[Gm] My record would be number one and I'd [Dm] sell records by [Gm] the ton
All sung by many other [Am] fellows
_ [G] My name would then be [Bm] Hassan Jack and I'd sell boats of [Em] opium
Whiskey that came from [Bm] Twickenham, [G] poppity queers [C] and [D] founty [G] virgins
_ [D] _ _ [A] If I [Am] had fangs on [E] every finger, finger in every country [C] and all the countries ruled by [F#m] me
[Bm] I'd still know where [B] I'd want to _ be _
_ _ _ [E] Locked up [Bm] inside my [Em] opium den, surrounded [D] by some [Em] Chinamen
I'd sing [Bm] the song that I [Em] sang then about [Am] the time they [G] called me Shaggy
If I could be for [A] only an [G] hour
If I could be [Bm] for an hour [C] every [D] day
If I could be [C] for just one little hour
[D] A cute, cute [G] in a stupid ass [Dm] way _ _
_ _ [Gm] Now tell me wouldn't it be nice that if [Dm] one day in [Gm] paradise
I'd [Dm] sing for all the [Gm] ladies up [Dm] there
_ [Gm] And they [Dm] would sing along with [Gm] me, we'd be [Dm] so happy that'd be
Cause down below is [Gm] really [D] nowhere
[G] If my name were [Bm] Juniper, then I would know [D] where I was [Em] going
And then I would become all [G] knowing, my beard so [C] very [Bm] long and _ [Em]
flowing
[D] _ _ [Am] If I became deaf, [C#m] dumb and blind because I pitied all [Em] mankind
And broke [A] my heart [D] to make things [Bm] right, I'd know [B] that every single _ _ night
_ [E] When my [Bm] angelic work was through, the angels and the devil [Em] too
Would sing [Bm] my childhood [Em] song to me about [Am] the time they [G] called me Shaggy
If I could be for [Em] only an hour
[G] If I could be for an hour [C] every [D] day
If I could be [C] for just one little hour
[D] A cute, cute [A] in a [Gm] stupid ass way
_ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
