AmOh (x02210@1)the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
            Em (022000@1)          AmAnd (x02210@1)she warbles, as she flies

And she never, holler cuckoo
             Em (022000@1)       AmUntil (x02210@1)the 4th day, of July


Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
                Em (022000@1)         AmYou're (x02210@1)the meanest, heart I know

Well you rob my, poor pockets
        Em (022000@1)           AmOf (x02210@1)the silver, and of gold


I'm going up, up on a mountain
           Em (022000@1)             AmI'm (x02210@1)gonna build me, a whiskey still

And I'll sell you, one bottle
        Em (022000@1)          AmFor (x02210@1)a twenty, dollar-bill


I'm going up, up on a mountain
           Em (022000@1)           AmI'm (x02210@1)gonna stand, lookin' down

So I can see my, pretty baby
          Em (022000@1)               AmWhenever (x02210@1)she, comes walking round


Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
          Em (022000@1)            AmAnd (x02210@1)she warbles, as she flies

And she never, holler cuckoo
          Em (022000@1)          AmUntil (x02210@1)the 4th day, of July

Well I'll eat, when I'm hungry
          Em (022000@1)            AmAnd (x02210@1)I'll drink, when I'm dry

And if some woman, don't shoot me
          Em (022000@1)          AmThen (x02210@1)I'll live, a long time


Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
           Em (022000@1)          AmWell (x02210@1)I've known you, of old

Well you rob my, poor pockets
          Em (022000@1)           AmAnd (x02210@1)you nearly, stole my soul


Oh the cuckoo, she's a pretty bird
           Em (022000@1)          AmAnd (x02210@1)she warbles, as she flies

Well she brings us, glad tidings
         Em (022000@1)           AmAnd (x02210@1)she never, tells no lies

                          Em (022000@1)        AmOhh-hoo-hoo, (x02210@1)Mm-hmm-hmm, Mm-hmm, Mm-hmm-hmm
