I knew a man named Jack, who built a little shack,
E B7
A house he could call his home.
E A
Love came callin', pretty soon he was fallin'
E B7 E
And he didn't have to live alone.
E A
Well her name was Jill and she made Jack feel
E B7
Like a king in a mansion on a hill.
E A
And for a while, they loved in style,
E B7 E
Livin' in the house that Jack built.
B7 A B7 E
It was a red-brick shack on a country acre, flower boxes in the windowsill.
B7 A B7
Picket fence, it was picture perfect, every room was filled with
E A
Love, love, sweet sweet love,
E B7 E
Livin' in the house that Jack built.
