    EHis (022100@1)heart is weak there's something wrong,
BOpens (x2444x@1)windows in despair,
BTrying (x2444x@1)to breath in some fresh air,
    AHis (x02220@1)conscience cries "get on your feet",

    AIts (x02220@1)10 o'clock the housewife's yell,
     EWhen (022100@1)Jack turns up we'll give him hell,
BHusbands (x2444x@1)moan at breakfast tables,
   BNo (x2444x@1)milk no eggs no marmalade labels,
A (x02220@1)                           EMothers (022100@1)send the children out to Jacks house,
(E)

More affection than respect,
    AThe (x02220@1)little children dressed in black,
      EDon't (022100@1)know what's happened to old Jack,

A (x02220@1)             B (x2444x@1)
