F                               Bbmaj7 
Saturday night and you're still hangin' around 
F                       Bbmaj7 
Tired of livin' in your one-horse town 
      F                     Bbmaj7 
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground 
      Am         C 
For a while u-hm-hm 
 
F                                Bbmaj7 
So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans 
F                            Bbmaj7 
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens 
F                           Bbmaj7   
It's like some pornographic magazine 
        Am         D  
And you smile u-hm-hm 
 
 
Chorus 1: 
G       D                 C            D 
Captain Jack will get you high tonight 
G            D               C       
And take you to your special island 
G       D                 C          D 
Captain Jack will get you by tonight 
G             D                  C 
Just a little push and you'll be smilin' 
 
 
F  Bbmaj7  F  Bbmaj7 
 
 
F                       Bbmaj7 
Your sister's gone out, she's on a date 
F                    Bbmaj7 
You just sit at home and masturbate 
F                                    Bbmaj7 
The phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait 
         Am        C 
For that call u-hm-hm 
 
F                                 Bbmaj7 
So you stand on the corner in you New English clothes 
F                                  Bbmaj7 
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes 
   F                             Bbmaj7 
Oh but still your finger's gonna pick your nose 
      Am       D 
After all u-hm-hm 
 
 
Chorus 2 
 
 
F  Bbmaj7  F  Bbmaj7 
 
 
F                       Bbmaj7 
So you decide to take a holiday 
F                               Bbmaj7 
You got your tape deck and your brand new chevrolet 
F                          Bbmaj7 
Ah there ain't no place to go anyway 
         Am       C 
And what for u-hm-hm 
 
F                            Bbmaj7 
So you've got everything, ah but nothing's cool 
F                          Bbmaj7 
They just found your Father in the swimming pool 
F                               Bbmaj7 
And you guess you wont be going back to school 
    Am   D 
Any more

So you play your albums and you smoke your pot 
F                                   Bbmaj7 
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot 
F                                             Bbmaj7 
Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got 
          Am         C 
What went wrong u-hm-hm 
 
F                                    Bbmaj7 
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead 
F                              Bbmaj7 
Why you've gotta keep in style and feed your head 
F                                            Bbmaj7 
Well you're twenty one and still your Mother makes your bed

And that's too long Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah-yeah
