INTRO 
 
 
         E                   A  
I knew a man named Jack, who built a little shack, 
  E                       B7 
A house he could call his home. 
E                         A 
Love came callin', pretty soon he was fallin' 
       E              B7    E 
And he didn't have to live alone. 
 
 
         E                     A 
Well her name was Jill and she made Jack feel 
       E                      B7 
Like a king in a mansion on a hill. 
    E                 A 
And for a while, they loved in style, 
E             B7         E 
Livin' in the house that Jack built. 
 
 
         B7                                 A                   B7    E       
It was a red-brick shack on a country acre, flower boxes in the windowsill. 
B7                                    A              B7 
Picket fence, it was picture perfect, every room was filled with 
E           A 
Love, love, sweet sweet love, 
E             B7         E 
Livin' in the house that Jack built.

Well along came Joe, he had a lotta dough, 
        F#                    Db7 
That he made from a moonshine still. 
       F#                        B  
And he caught Jill's eye, and it made Jack cry, 
          F#            Db7        F#  
Now Joe's livin' in the house that Jack built.
