Children of Jack - Guy Forsyth

This is my first post - appreciate any constructive feedbck.
I think Guy plays this on Capo 2, but this reflects the absolute chords.
The bulk of the song is simply a G-D/F#-Em-C, and the chorus breaks out with C-C-G-Em-D/F#-G-D/F#.

The fingerpicking pattern goes like this:
 G+G         D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7      D/F#D/F#
|----3---3---3----|----3---3---3-|----3---3---3-|----3---3---3-|
|----3---3---3----|----3---3---3-|----3---3---3-|----3---3---3-|
|-----------------|--------------|--------------|----------0---|
|----------0------|----------0---|----------0---|------2-------|
|------2----------|------0-------|------2-------|--3-----------|
|--3--------------|--2-----------|--0-----------|--------------|

Intro:
G+G D/F#D/F# Em7C
G+G D/F#D/F# Em7C

G+G       D/F#D/F#  E minor 7Em7    C majorC
At night when I?m out riding
G+G     D/F#D/F#   E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Along the dark highway
G+G    D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7    C majorC
I get a feeling inside me
G+G         D/F#D/F#   E minor 7Em7   C majorC
To throw all that I have away.

G+G         D/F#D/F#  E minor 7Em7    C majorC
And I'll leave all this behind me
     G+G     D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Like that job that I had in the day
    G+G       D/F#D/F#     E minor 7Em7    C majorC
All the black dressing soul testing lovers and liars
    G+G        D/F#D/F#  E minor 7Em7    C majorC
And the speeding tickets I never pay

(Interlude, mostly just strumming these chords:)
C majorC C majorC G+G D/F#D/F# E minor 7Em7 D/F#D/F# G+G D/F#D/F#


G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minor 7Em7      C majorC
Do you believe in love at first sight
   G+G     D/F#D/F#  E minor 7Em7    C majorC
As a matter of fact I do
G+G   D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7   C majorC
Every time that I open my eyes
G+G  D/F#D/F#     E minor 7Em7    C majorC
That saying comes true

   G+G   D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7     C majorC
Cause I see you in the laundromat
G+G      D/F#D/F#       E minor 7Em7   C majorC
Black Irish washerwoman in a funeral hat
G+G      D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7   C majorC
Italian ballerina on an asphalt stage
G+G      D/F#D/F#     E minor 7Em7  C majorC
Bleach blond born of a Victorian age

Chorus:
C majorC     G+G      D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F#  G+G D/F#D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G+G    D/F#D/F#    G+G
as we ride away in the light.

-Solo goes here-

G+G D/F#D/F# G+G

    G+G   D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7  C majorC
And if I were to take you by force
  G+G   D/F#Em   C majorC
And carry you away
G+G  D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7  C majorC
   Back to my bedroom
G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minor 7Em7   C majorC
Just for music to play

    G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7    C majorC
And I'd play you the songs that I've written
    G+G      D/F#D/F#     E minor 7Em7   C majorC
And the ones that I can't seem to write
G+G      D/F#D/F#       E minor 7Em7     C majorC
Maybe you'd know what you're missing
G+G      D/F#D/F#     E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Maybe you'd stay past the night

Chorus:
C majorC     G+G      D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F#  G+G D/F#D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G+G    D/F#D/F#    G+G
as we ride away in the light.


  G+G     D/F#D/F#       E minor 7Em7    C majorC
My father he built me this backpack
    G+G      D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Just an inch or two big for real
   G+G     D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7    C majorC
I'll pack my guitar and the smoke from this bar
  G+G       D/F#D/F#  E minor 7Em7   C majorC
My songs and one hot meal

     G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7     C majorC
And I'll ride to the west chasing sunsets like gold
  G+G     D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7  C majorC
At dawn I will ride to the east
   G+G      D/F#D/F#         E minor 7Em7     C majorC
I'll find all the friends that I've lost on the road
   G+G     D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7     C majorC
Maybe then I'll know me some peace


Chorus:
C majorC     G+G      D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F#  G+G D/F#D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G+G    D/F#D/F#    G+G
as we ride away in the light.


    G+G    D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7    C majorC
There's so much more to this wonderful world
   G+G   D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Then we are sold on TV
  G+G     D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7  C majorC
So tell me if you are not already dead
   G+G        D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7    C majorC
That you'll come and live it with me

      G+G    D/F#D/F#       E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Leave your college plans to your one-night stands
   G+G     D/F#D/F#       E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Your business clothes and the rest
    G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7      C majorC
There's pleasure enough in your heart and your hands
G+G     D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Blue jeans suit you best


Chorus:
C majorC     G+G      D/F#D/F#    E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F#  G+G D/F#D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G+G    D/F#D/F#    G+G
as we ride away in the light.



G+G      D/F#D/F#      E minor 7Em7    C majorC
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G+G    D/F#D/F#    G+G
as we ride away in the light.
