[G] [D]
Happy Jack wasn't tall, but he was a man.
He lived in the sand at the island.
[Bm] [D]
The kids would all sing, he [A] would take [D] long pee.
So they rode on his head in their furry donkey.
[G] It's the most [A] epic landmine track.
[G] He drops things on his [A] back, the landmine, landmine, landmine.
They [D] couldn't stop Jack or the walls would stop him.
And they couldn't prevent Jack [A] from [D] being happy.

[D] [A]
[D] [A]
[D] [A] [D]
But they couldn't stop Jack or the walls would stop him.
And they couldn't prevent Jack [A] from [D] being happy.
Blah, [A] blah, blah, blah.

[A] [D] [G] [A]
[Am] [G]
Brits couldn't help Jack, [A] his eyes turned [G] red.
He drops things on his [A] back, the landmine, landmine, landmine.
[D] They couldn't stop Jack or the walls would stop him.
And they couldn't prevent [A] Jack from [D] being happy.
[G] [D] [N]
