"The House That Jack Built"
(Bob Lance - Fran Robbins)

Intro:

(acapella)

This is the house that Jack built, y'all

Ab
/ / / / / / / /
Remember this house

Verse 1:

Ab
This was the land that he worked by hand
Db
It was the dream of an upright man
Ab
There was the room that was filled with love
Db
It was a love that I was proud of
Eb7
This is the life, the life that he planned
Db7
On the love, the same old love
Ab
In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built)
Remember this house

Verse 2:

There was a fence that held our love (yes, it was)
There was the gate that he walked out of
This is the heart, it has turned to stone (yes, it is)
This is a house, it ain't no home
This was a love that I destroyed
On the day that I toyed with love
In the house that Jack built
I'm gonna remember this house

Bridge:

Gb Ab
Oh, what is the use of crying
Gb Ab
You know I brought it on myself, there's no denying
Gb Ab
But it seems awful funny
Bb7
That I didn't understand
Eb7
Until I lost my upright man

Verse 3:

Ab Db
Up on the hill everything stands still
Ab
In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built)
Db
I'm gonna remember this house (the house that Jack built)
Ab
Listen - I got the house, I got the car
Db
I got the rugs and I got the rent
Ab
But I ain't got Jack
And I want my Jack back

Horn break:

Gb Ab Bb7 Eb7
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Coda:

Ab Db
I turned my back on Jack, he said he wasn't comin' back
Ab
I turned my back on Jack, he said he wasn't comin' back

Ab Db (continue)
Oh, Jack, you oughta come on back
Oh, Jack you oughta come on back (come on back, Jack)
To the one that you built - it's the same one you built
You oughta come on back, Jack oh, now Jack
I didn't understand 'til I lost my upright man
Come on back, Jack you oughta come on home now (fade)
