_ _ _ _ Jack Paraluck was born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1922,
the youngest of three children of a French-Canadian family.
He attended local Catholic schools
and won a football scholarship at Columbia University
in New York City, _ where he met Neil Cassidy, Ellen Ginsberg,
and William S.
Burroughs. _ _ _
He quit school his sophomore year
and joined the Merchant Marine, beginning
a restless wandering that continued
a great part of his life.

_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ Hey, Jack Paraluck, I think of your mother. _ _ _
_ [A#m] And the tears she cried, they were glad for [B] not another. _ _ _
[F#] Then the little boy lost in a little [B] world,
where he died. _ _ _
And [A#m] the days, Jack and I, the little [B] boy
could wait, _ _ _ _ which all seems to run out.
_ [C#] Days got lost in the world.
_ [B] The hay flies sing in my bed, _ [C#] steam and catfish fries.
_ _ [B] They all spoke to you.
_ _ [F#] _ Hey, Jack, _ now for [B] the tiki bar, _ _ _
_ [F#] [A#m] when
you were the brightest star, who were [B] the shadows _ _ _ _ _ [F#] of the San
Francisco beat boys, you were [B] the favorite. _ _ _ _
Now [A#m] they sing and battle their wounds
and think [B] of their blood _ someday. _
_ _ Just your voice from miles out.
_ [C#] Days got lost in the _ world.
[B] The hay flies sing in my bed, [C#] steam and catfish fries.
_ [B] _ In _ Chinatown, _ [F#] howling at night. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _
Howling, baby, _ _ why [B] so jaded?
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] Have the [A#m]
boys all the love and their [B] beauty made.
Jack, _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Billy, _ _ one same big, big [B] you.
_ _ You're just [A#m] like Manny _ down in Mexico.
[B] And also stay.
_ _ _ Just as words from miles _ [C#] out.
Days got lost in the world.
_ [B] The cool John Booty man, then a long, [C#] old street Monday girl.
_ _ [B] _
Then 하나.
_ How [F#] _ _
inkline. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] One you _ _ say? _
Shut [F#] down the world.
_ Oh and gone [A] away with nothing at all.
[B] Da, da, da, da, da, [F#] _ nevermore. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
