BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: JACK OF ALL TRADES From the Album: Wrecking Ball A D I'll mow your lawn, clean the leaves out your drain A E I'll mend your roof to keep out the rain A D I'll take the work that God provides A E A I'm a Jack of all trades, honey, we'll be alright A D I'll hammer the nails, and I'll set the stone A E I'll harvest your crops when they're ripe and grown A D I'll pull that engine apart and patch her up 'til she's running right A E A I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright
D A The hurricane blows, brings a hard rain A E When the blue sky breaks, feels like the world's gonna change A D We'll start caring for each other like Jesus said that we might A E A I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright A A D D A A E E A A D D A E A D A The banker man grows fatter, the working man grows thin A E It's all happened before and it'll happen again A D It'll happen again, yeah they'll bet your life A E A I'm a Jack of all trades and darling, we'll be alright A D Now sometimes tomorrow comes soaked in treasure and blood A E Here we stood the drought, now we'll stand the flood A D There's a new world coming, I can see the light A E A I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright A D So you use what you've got, and you learn to make do A E You take the old, you make it new A D If I had me a gun, I'd find the bastards and shoot 'em on sight A E A I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright A E A I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright
