♫ Intro:
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA


♫ Verse 1:
A augmentedA      D MajorD
Once I had a little dog
 E MajorE         A augmentedA
I called him Cracker Jack
        D MajorD
He had a spot around one eye
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
That looked just like a patch

His legs were way too long
      D MajorD        A augmentedA
And he was awkward as could be
  D MajorD       A augmentedA
He wasn't much to look at
    E MajorE         A augmentedA
But he looked alright to me

♫ Verse 2:
 A augmentedA        D MajorD
I found him by the river bank
   E MajorE     A augmentedA
Just wandering about
        D MajorD
He was cold and hungry
    E MajorE         A augmentedA
And his ribs were sticking out

I snapped my fingers, whistled
    D MajorD         A augmentedA
When he came, I picked him up
D MajorD      A augmentedA
I was just a kid
      E MajorE        A augmentedA
And Cracker Jack was just a pup

♫ Verse 3:
 A augmentedA         D MajorD
I took him home and fed him
    E MajorE        A augmentedA
'Til he couldn't eat no more
         D MajorD
I took him to my room
     E MajorE       A augmentedA
And put a blanket on the floor

After that beside my bed
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
Is where he'd always sleep
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Each night in my prayers
       E MajorE        A augmentedA
I'd pray the lord his soul to keep

♫ Chorus:
    D MajorD
Cracker Jack
                  A augmentedA
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack
      E MajorE
But he was more than that

A augmentedA playmate, a companion
    A augmentedA
He was love and understanding
     D MajorD
That was Cracker Jack
                  A augmentedA
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack
      E MajorE
But he was more than that

Everything a kid could want
         A augmentedA
I had in Cracker Jack


♫ Verse 4:
Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb
Cracker Jack would run to meet me
FF         Bb majorBb
After school each day
           Eb MajorEb
He'd jump and wag his tail
      FF      Bb majorBb
And look at me as if to say

"I love you and I've missed you
    Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
And I'm glad you're home again"
 Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
I knew just how he felt
       FF        Bb majorBb
'Cause me and Cracker Jack was friends

♫ Verse 5:
           Eb MajorEb
Through the woods and fields
     FF      Bb majorBb
We would often roam about
          Eb MajorEb
And when we got in trouble
     FF        Bb majorBb
We would help each other out
               Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb
I could run almost as fast as Cracker Jack could run
  Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
We had a lot in common
    FF      Bb majorBb
And we had a lot of fun

♫ Verse 6:
       Eb MajorEb
He was always with me
   FF       Bb majorBb
When I was growing up
            Eb MajorEb
We shared each other's good times
    FF          Bb majorBb
And we shared each other's love

He only lives in memories now
  Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
But often I think back
Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
To the days of childhood
  FF        Bb majorBb
The days of Cracker Jack


♫ Chorus:

The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack
      FF
But he was more than that

A augmentedA playmate, a companion
    Bb majorBb
He was love and understanding
     Eb MajorEb
That was Cracker Jack
                  Bb majorBb
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack
      FF
But he was more than that

Everything a kid could want
         Bb majorBb
I had in Cracker Jack
