INTRO: G D C
F Bbmaj7 F Bbmaj7
F Bbmaj7
Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
F Bbmaj7
Tired of livin' in your one-horse town
F Bbmaj7
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground
Am C
For a while u-hm-hm
F Bbmaj7
So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
F Bbmaj7
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
F Bbmaj7
It's like some pornographic magazine
Am D
And you smile u-hm-hm
Chorus 1:
G D C D
Captain Jack will get you high tonight
G D C
And take you to your special island
G D C D
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
G D C
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
F Bbmaj7 F Bbmaj7
F Bbmaj7
Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
F Bbmaj7
You just sit at home and masturbate
F Bbmaj7
The phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait
Am C
For that call u-hm-hm
F Bbmaj7
So you stand on the corner in you New English clothes
F Bbmaj7
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
F Bbmaj7
Oh but still your finger's gonna pick your nose
Am D
After all u-hm-hm
Chorus 2
F Bbmaj7 F Bbmaj7
F Bbmaj7
So you decide to take a holiday
F Bbmaj7
You got your tape deck and your brand new chevrolet
F Bbmaj7
Ah there ain't no place to go anyway
Am C
And what for u-hm-hm
F Bbmaj7
So you've got everything, ah but nothing's cool
F Bbmaj7
They just found your Father in the swimming pool
F Bbmaj7
And you guess you wont be going back to school
Am D
Any more
Chorus 3:
G D C D
Captain Jack can get you high tonight
G D C
And take you to your special island
G D C D
Oh, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
G D C
Just a little push and you'll be smilin' la la la
F Bbmaj7 F Bbmaj7
F Bbmaj7
So you play your albums and you smoke your pot
F Bbmaj7
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
F Bbmaj7
Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got
Am C
What went wrong u-hm-hm
F Bbmaj7
And if you can't understand why your world is so dead
F Bbmaj7
Why you've gotta keep in style and feed your head
F Bbmaj7
Well you're twenty one and still your Mother makes your bed
Am D
And that's too long Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah-yeah
