[G] [Dm] [C]
Yeah, I'm a shade tree fix-it man, I don't need any [G] helpin' hand.
Yeah, I'm a jack of all trades when I'm workin' in the shade, I'm a shade tree [C] fix-it man.
Well, I headed out west for Markinson, my hoopie ran [G] fine for a while.
[D] Then a rock started knockin', a gate started rockin', she wouldn't run [G] another mile.
[C] But on a downhill drag, I coached her for a while till I found me a [F] shady end.
I started huffin' and a [C] puffin', started frettin' and a [G] sweatin', but I soon had her [F] runnin' [G] again.
[C] Cause I'm a shade tree fix-it man, I don't need any [G] helpin' hand.
Well, I'm a jack of all trades when I'm workin' in the shade, I'm a shade tree [C] fix-it man.
[G]
[C]
By noon the next day, I was back on the road, I had her runnin' [G] right on out.
Well, I [D] was wheelin' and a-feelin', I got a funny feelin' that my [G] baby kinda felt left out.
[C] So I found me a shade by the side of the road, I fixed [F] everything up fine.
With a little bit [C] of lovin' and a few minutes [G] later, we was rollin' on [C] down the line.
Cause I'm a shade tree fix-it man, I don't need [G] any helpin' hand.
[Gm] I'm a jack of all trades when I'm workin' in the shade, I'm a shade tree [C] fix-it man.
I'm a shade tree fix-it man, I don't need any [G] helpin' hand.
I'm a jack of all trades when I'm workin' in the shade, I'm a shade tree [C] fix-it man.
Yeah, I'm a safely fixin' man, I don't need any helpin' [G] man,
Well, I'm a Jack-o'-lantern, I'm a Jack-o'-lantern,
