Hey Jack Kerouac, I think of your mother
And the [A#m] tears she cried, they were glad [B] for none other
[F#] Than a little boy lost in a little world [B] pretty sad
[A#m] And the tears Jack and I, [A#] the little [B] boy pretty sad
But your tears were too much, a [C#] face got lost in the woods
[B] They hear the flags singing, mad men, [C#] steam and cafe bars
They all spoke to you, [F#] hey Jack, now for [B] the ticket bar
When [A#m] you were the brightest star, you were [B] the shadow
Of [F#] the San Francisco big boys, you were the favorite
[F#]
Now [A#m] they sit and bite on their bones and think of their [B] blood someday
Just your words and those of a [C#] face got lost in the woods
They [B] hear the flags singing, mad men, [C#] steam and cafe bars
[B] In Chinatown, Halloween [F#] at night

[F#]
Billy, why sing Big Big You?
You're just [A#m] like Mary down in Mexico
[B] And old Susseday, just his words two miles out
[C#] A face got lost in the woods
[B] The cool John Booty, mad man and all [C#] those street minded girls
