Jackie 
(Brel/Jouannest/Shuman) 
	
	Intro:    x4
	
	
	Verse 1
	
	
	                                               
	And if one day I should become a singer with a Spanish bum
	
	                                
	Who sings for women of great virtue
	
	                                                  
	I'd sing to them with a guitar I'd borrowed from a coffee bar
	
	                                       
	Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you!
	
	                                              Gmaj6 
	My name would be Antonio and all my bridges I would burn
	
	                                                              
	And when I gave them some they'd know I'd expect something in return
	
	                          (maj7)                   
	I'd have to get drunk every night and talk about virility
	
	                                                              
	With some old Grandmama who might be decked out like a Christmas tree
	
	                                                           
	And though pink elephants I'd see, though I'd be drunk as I could be
	
	                                                         
	Still I would sing my song to me about the time they called me Jackie
	
	
	
	Chorus
	
	
	                    Gmaj6 
	If I could be for only an hour
	
	                            
	If I could be for an hour every day
	
	                (maj7)            
	If I could be for just one little hour
	
	                                    
	A cute cute in a stupid-assed way
	
	
	
	Verse 2
	
	
	                                                   
	And if I joined the social world, became procurer of young girls
	
	                              
	Then I would have my own bordellos
	
	                                                  
	My record would be number one and I'd sell records by the ton
	
	                          
	All sung by many other fellows
	
	                                                       Gmaj6
	My name would then be Handsome Jack and I'd sell boats of opium
	
	                                                              
	Whisky that came from Twickenham,   authentic queers and phoney virgins
	
	                      (maj7)                          
	If I had banks on every finger, a finger in every country
	
	                                                        
	And all the countries ruled by me I'd still know where I'd want to be
	
	                                              
	Locked up inside my opium den surrounded by some Chinamen
	
	                                                          
	I'd sing the song that I sang then about the time they called me Jackie
	
	
	repeat chorus
	
	
	
	Verse 3
	
	
	                                                
	Now tell me wouldn't it be nice that if one day in Paradise
	
	                                 
	I'd sing for all the ladies up there
	
	                                                    
	And they would sing along with me, we'd be so happy, that'd be
	
	                             
	'Cos down below is really nowhere
	
	                                                   Gmaj6
	And if my name were Juniper and I would know where I was going
	
	                                                         
	And I would become all-knowing, my beard so very long and flowing
	
	                         (maj7)                      
	If I became deaf, dumb and blind because I pitied all mankind
	
	                                  
	And broke my heart to make things right
	
	                    
	I'd know that every single night
	
	                                                  
	When my angelic work was through the angels and the Devil too
	
	                                                          
	Would sing my childhood song to me about the time they called me Jackie
	
	
	repeat chorus
	
	
	  x4 end on
