Lyrics

One two!

I was born

in a (C7sus)cross fire hur ri cane.

And I howled

at my (C7sus)ma in the driv ing rain.

But it’s al

(Bb)right

(F)now, in fact it’s a gas.

But it’s al

(Bb)right,

I’m (F)Jump ing Jack Flash, it’s a (C5)gas, gas, gas.

I was raised

by a (C7sus)tooth less, beard ed hag.

I was schooled

with a (C7sus)strap right a cross my back.

But it’s al

(Bb)right

(F)now, in fact it’s a gas.

But it’s al

(Bb)right,

I’m (F)Jump ing Jack Flash, it’s a (C5)gas, gas, gas.

I was drowned,

I was (C7sus)washed up and left for dead.

I fell down

to my (C7sus)feet and I saw they bled.

Yeah, yeah, I frowned

at the (C7sus)crumbs of a crust of bread.

(C7sus)Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was crowned

with a (C7sus)spike right through my head.

(C7sus)Oh, oh, yeah, but it’s al
