Intro     Am  F  Dm7  G  C  Am  Bb  F  G  
 
 F                     Dm          Am  
Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trains  
C      G     Am     G  
Remind me of Jack-A-Lynn  
F               Dm     Am  
Lush hotels and pretty girls  
C               G     Am       G  
Won't share the misty mood I'm in  
 
Dm               F  
Silly, sad, I've never had  
   G            C  
To write this before  
           G  
Oh, Jack-A-Lynn  
 
F              Dm     Am  
Funny how long nights alone  
C            G  Am     G  
And thoughts of Jack-A-Lynn  
F                    Dm       Am  
When phantoms tread around my bed  
C        G        Am          G  
To offer restless dreams they bring  
 
Dm                         F  
And it's just the time and place to find  
     G           C  
A  sad song to play  
          G  
For Jack-A-Lynn

Ab                           Fm         Cm    Eb  
Magpies that shriek, old boots that leak

Call me the Jack-A-Lynn   
Ab                   Fm         Cm      Eb  
Cold black cats in policman's hats   
       Bb        Eb        Bb  
Nosing where the mice have been }  
Fm                      Ab  
And the lonely hours, forgiving now  
       Bb            Eb  
And I'm far, far from home
