D
He asked me for a dollar, I said go get a job
G D
I turned up my collar and started walking off
D
He said I don't blame you, I know what you think
G Bm A
I'll just spend your money to buy another drink
G
But you don't know Jack, Double shoot, 80 proof on the rocks
D G
Until you've lost it all and you can't go back
G D
To your life and your kids and your ex-wife with just a telephone call
Bm G D
If you think is just a bottle in an old brown paper sack, you don't know Jack
D
He showed me a picture of two little girls
G D
Wearin' Easter dresses, hair done up in curls
D
He said God bless their mama, she said I couldn't stay
G Bm A
But buddy if you're wondering, how could I throw it all away
G
You don't know Jack, Double shoot, 80 proof on the rocks
D G
Until you've lost it all and you can't go back
G D
To your life and your kids and your ex-wife with just a telephone call
Bm G D
If you think is just a bottle in an old brown paper sack, you don't know Jack
Bridge:
Bm G
If you've never felt a fire running through your veins
Bm A
If you've never seen the devil face to face
G
You don't know Jack, double shoot, 80 proof on the rocks
D G
Till you've lost it all, so brother just be glad
G D
And tonight, hold your kids, kiss your wife and when you talk to God
Bm G D
Count up all your blessings and thank the Good Lord that you don't know Jack
G D G
No you don't know Jack
