F5                               Bb5 
Saturday night and you're still hangin' around 
F5                       Bb5 
Tired of livin' in your one-horse town 
      F5                     Bb5 
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground 
      A5         C5 
For a while u-hm-hm 
 

F5                                Bb5 
So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans 
F5                            Bb5 
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens 
F5                           Bb5   
It's like some pornographic magazine 
        A5         D5  
And you smile u-hm-hm 

Chorus 1: 
G5       D5                 C5            D5 
Captain Jack will get you high tonight 
G5            D5               C5       
And take you to your special island 
G5       D5                 C5          D5 
Captain Jack will get you by tonight 
G5             D5                  C5 
Just a little push and you'll be smilin' 
 

F5  Bb5  F5  Bb5 

F5                       Bb5 
Your sister's gone out, she's on a date 
F5                    Bb5 
You just sit at home and masturbate 
F5                                    Bb5 
The phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait 
         A5        C5 
For that call u-hm-hm 
 

F5                                 Bb5 
So you stand on the corner in you New English clothes 
F5                                  Bb5 
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes 
   F5                             Bb5 
Oh but still your finger's gonna pick your nose 
      A5       D5 
After all u-hm-hm 

Chorus 2 
 

F5  Bb5  F5  Bb5 
 
F5                       Bb5 
So you decide to take a holiday 
F5                               Bb5 
You got your tape deck and your brand new chevrolet 
F5                          Bb5 
Ah there ain't no place to go anyway 
         A5       C5 
And what for u-hm-hm 
 

F5                            Bb5 
So you've got everything, ah but nothing's cool 
F5                          Bb5 
They just found your Father in the swimming pool 
F5                               Bb5 
And you guess you wont be going back to school 
    A5   D5 
Any more

F5 Bb5  F5  Bb5  
 
F5                      Bb5 
So you play your albums and you smoke your pot 
F5                                   Bb5 
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot 
F5                                             Bb5 
Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got 
          A5         C5 
What went wrong u-hm-hm 
 

F5                                    Bb5 
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead 
F5                              Bb5 
Why you've gotta keep in style and feed your head 
F5                                            Bb5 
Well you're twenty one and still your Mother makes your bed 
               A5   D5 
And that's too long Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah-yeah
