Intro:
E minorEm        G+G
Come on Irishmen both young and old
D MajorD           A7A7
With adventure in your soul
E minorEm           G+G
There are better ways to spend your days
D MajorD           A7A7
Then by working down a hole

Chorus:
G+G          D MajorD
I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
E minorEm          D MajorD
Til they broke me across my back
E minorEm          G+G
By a name I'm known that is not my own
D MajorD       A7A7  E minorEm
For they call me crooked Jack

Verse:
E minorEm         G+G
And I curse the day I went away
D MajorD            A7A7
To work on those hydro dams
E minorEm            G+G
All our sweat and tears our hopes and fears
D MajorD            A7A7
Bound up with shuttering jams

Chorus:
G+G          D MajorD
I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
E minorEm          D MajorD
Til they broke me across my back
E minorEm          G+G
By a name I'm known that is not my own
D MajorD       A7A7  E minorEm
For they call me crooked Jack

Verse:
E minorEm            G+G
For I've seen men old before their time
D MajorD           A7A7
Their faces worn and gray
E minorEm          G+G
But I never thought that I myself
D MajorD             A7A7
Would soon be the self same way

Chorus:
G+G          D MajorD
I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
E minorEm          D MajorD
Til they broke me across my back
E minorEm          G+G
By a name I'm known that is not my own
D MajorD       A7A7  E minorEm
For they call me crooked Jack

Verse:
E minorEm             G+G
And they say that honest toil is good
D MajorD           A7A7
For the body and the soul
E minorEm              G+G
But I'll tell you boys it's for sweat and blood
D MajorD              A7A7
That they want you down the hole

Chorus:
G+G          D MajorD
I was tall and true all of 6 foot 2
E minorEm          D MajorD
Til they broke me across my back
E minorEm          G+G
By a name I'm known that is not my own
D MajorD       A7A7  E minorEm
