	        A              Dm                  A 
When we first met I didn't know what to do 
                           Dm          A 
My old love lines were all worn out on you 
        D            D/C#        Bm 
And the world walked round at my mouth 
     A                  E          A 
They lit me up and they snuffed me out 


A E A And I was everybody's boy D D/C# Bm But soon that thrill just fades D E A E F#m To be the love of one true heart D E A Or the Jack of all parades Do opening riff here
A You won't know who to thank Dm A You won't know who to blame Dm A It's just a part of the Murdering Game 'Cos down in the fleshpots Dm A Where they pay you in pounds They're laughing like drains Dm A And baying like bloodhounds D D/C# Bm For the Jack of all parades D E A A7 The Jack of all parades D Once I knew a girl Dm That looked so much like Judy Garland A That people would stop and give her money D Dm And everybody was Frankie, Jimmy or Bobby A E Not the Jack, the Jack of all Parades, A D E Oh the Jack, the Jack of all Parades, A E A Oh the Jack, of all Parades. Intro riff again A Dm A Now the way that I feel is no longer news Dm A You know my love and how to refuse it Cause you know where the door is D A And how to use it D D/C# Bm Oh you know you do A But from my chequered past Dm A To this shattered terrace Where you can't keep your mind off Dm A the Crimes of Paris And you can't keep your peace Dm A And try to forget it And I can't forgive you Dm A For things you haven't done yet A E A Oh I was anybody's boy D D/C# Bm But soon that thrill just fades D E A E F#m To be the love of one true heart D E A Or the Jack of all parades A tacet When we first met I didn't know what to do A tacet My old love lines were all worn out on you D D/C# Bm And the world walked 'round my mouth A I didn't mean to say it E A I just blurted it out D D/C# As you pretended not to notice Bm Or be taken aback E A And I loved you there and then E A It's as simple as that A E A Oh I was everybody's boy D D/C# Bm But soon that thrill just fades D E A E F#m To be the love of one true heart D E A Or the Jack of all parades A E A E F#m To be the love of one true heart D E A Or the Jack of all parades D E A Oh the Jack of all parades
