D A G G A D
Standing on the corner,
D A G G A D
Suitcase in my hand
D A G G A D D A G G A D
Jack is in his corset, and Jane is her vest,
D A G G A D
And me I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah!

Ridin' in a Stutz Bear Cat, Jim
D A G G A D
You know, those were different times!

Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse

And those ladies, they rolled their eyes
A G G A D D A G G A D D A G G A D
Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

A G G Bm A D D
I'll tell you something Jack, he is a banker
D A G G Bm A D D
And Jane, she is a clerk
D A G G Bm A D D
And both of them save their monies, ha
D A G G Bm A D D
And when, when they come home from work
D A G G Bm A D D
Ooooh, sittin' down by the fire, oh!
D A G G Bm A D D
The radio does play the classical music there, Jim
D A G G Bm A D D
"The March of the Wooden Soldiers" all you protest kids
D A G G Bm A D D
You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah

D D A A G G Bm A D D
Some people, they like to go out dancing
D A G G Bm A D D
And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now!
D A G G Bm A D D
And there's even some evil mothers
D A G G Bm A D D
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
D A G G Bm A D D
Y'know that, women, never really faint
D A G G Bm A D D
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
D A G G Bm A D D
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!
D A G G Bm A D D
And that, life is just to die!

[Bridge]

D G G Bm A D D
And, everyone who ever had a heart
D G G Bm A D D
They wouldn't turn around and break it
D G G Bm A D D
And anyone who ever played a part
D G G Bm A D D
Oh they wouldn't turn around and hate it!

[Chorus]
