F6 Dm Cmaj7 F
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?
F6 Dm Cmaj7 F G7
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?
verse 1:
C F/C C F/C
My arms are missing you;
C F/C Dm7 G7
My lips feel the same way, too.
C F/C C F/C
I tried so hard to be true,
C F/C C F/C
Li-ike I promised I'd do.
C F/C C F/C
But this boy keeps coming around,
C F/C C F/C
He's trying to wear my re-sistance down.
F6 Dm Cmaj7 F
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?
F Dm Cmaj7 F G7
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back.
verse 2:
C F/C C F/C
He calls me on the phone;
C F/C Dm7 G7
About three times a day.
C F/C C F/C
Now my heart's just listening to,
C F/C C F
What he has to say.
C F/C C F/C
But this loneliness, that I have within;
C F/C C F/C
Keeps reaching out, to be his friend.
F6 Dm Cmaj7 F
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?
F Dm Cmaj7 F G7
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back.

Need your loving,
F/C C
(Jimmy Mack; won't you hurry back?)
F/C C
Need your loving, F/C G7
(Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back).
Interlude:
C F/C (x4),
Dm7 G7, C F/C G7
I wanna say...
verse 3:
C F/C C F/C
I'm not getting any stronger;
C F/C C F/C
I can't hold out, very much longer.
C F/C C F/C
Trying hard, to be true,
C F/C C F/C
But Jimmy; he talks just as sweet as you.
F6 Dm Cmaj7 F
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?

Jimmy, Jimmy, oh, Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back.

C F/C C F/C
Need your loving, (hurry back, Jimmy Mack).

Need your loving, (hurry... hurry, hurry).
C F/C C F/C
Hey, Jimmy Mack; you better hurry back.
C F/C C F/C
Hey, Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?
C F/C C F/C
I'm not getting any stronger;
C F/C C F/C
I can't hold out, very much longer.
C F/C C F/C
Jimmy Mack; when are you coming back?...
