VERSE 1

Am                        C        G
Down my old local there's always a man
       Am                      F            G
With a squint in his eye and a working mans tan
     Am                        C       G
Just listen a while and you'll be entertained
    Am                       F          G
But don't interrupt, you may ne'er walk again
           Am                           G
'Cause his hands may be cracked and his eyes may be pale
   C                          F
He may not look long for this world
         Am
When the world's on your back
         G
just sit down with Old Jack
          F                      C
And he'll tell you tall tales of old


CHORUS

          F
He'll say away with you boy

don't go wasting your time
             C                    G
y' should be living your live for yourself
           F
'cause the very next day

they could take you away
        C                        G
and you won't have no stories to tell.
    F
But seein' as you're here

won't you buy us a beer
         C                      G
and I'll tell you a favorite of mine
    F                 G
"Go out and live your life

another time"

VERSE 2

      Am                                C            G
He'll regale you with tales through the smoke of his pipe
           Am                         F             G
then he'll show you some proof of his well-traveled life
    Am                   C               G
The unicorns horn or the gold he brought back
     Am                               F             G
just keep your mouth shut when you're down with Old Jack
           Am                           G
'Cause his hands may be cracked and his eyes may be pale
   C                          F
He may not look long for this world
         Am
When the world's on your back
          G
just sit down with Old Jack
          F                      C
And he'll tell you tall tales of old


CHORUS

          F
He'll say away with you boy

don't go wasting your time
             C                    G
y' should be living your live for yourself
           F
'cause the very next day

they could take you away
        C                        G
and you won't have no stories to tell.
    F
But seein' as you're here

won't you buy us a beer
         C                      G
and I'll tell you a favorite of mine

VERSE 3

       Am                    C         G
I went down to my local just the other day
     Am                        F     G
they told me Old Jack had been taken away
    Am                     C           G
The hospital bed found him cold in the night
    Am                         F            G
and snatched him away while he clung to his pipe
        Am                       G
and his skin was so pale and his eyes wired shut
    C                    F
his story had come to an end
     Am
As I walked out the door
      G
I was shattered and torn
    F                          C
I remembered the last words he said


CHORUS

         F
He said away with you boy

don't go wasting your time
             C                    G
y' should be living your live for yourself
           F
'cause the very next day

they could take you away
        C                        G
and you won't have no stories to tell.
    F
But seein' as you're here

won't you buy us a beer
         C                      G
and I'll tell you a favorite of mine
