[Verse]
E    
Counts the days into years, Yes 82 brings many fears
    A                A/C#
Yesterday’s laughter turns to tears
    A    
His arms, his legs don’t feel so strong
    E    
His heart is weak there’s something wrong

[Bridge]
    B    
Opens windows in despair
Trying to breath in some fresh air
    A    
His conscience cries “get on your feet”
    E    
“Without you Jack the town cant eat”

[chorus]
E            B               A    
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
    B              E    
Go into town don’t let them down
      C#m    
Oh no no

[verse]
    E    
The people that live in the town, Don’t understand
    A                    A/C#
He’s never been known to miss his round
    A    
Its 10 o’clock the housewife’s yell
    E    
When Jack turns up we’ll give him hell

[bridge]
    B    
Husbands moan at breakfast tables
No milk no eggs no marmalade labels
    A                         E    
Mothers send the children out to Jacks house
To scream and shout

[chorus]
    E       B                A    
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
      B               E    
Come into town don’t let us down

Oh no no

[verse]
    E    
Its Sunday morning bright and clear Lovely flowers
A          A/C#
decorate a marble square
    A    
People cry and walk away
    E    
Think about the fateful day

[bridge]
B    
Now they wish they’d given Jack 
More affection and respect
    A    
The little children dressed in black
       E    
Don’t know what’s happened to old Jack

[chorus]

 A               B    
Is it true what Mummy says
    E    
You wont come back
      C#m    
Oh no no
