Children Of Jack chords by Guy Forsyth

Children of Jack - Guy Forsyth

This is my first post - appreciate any constructive feedbck.
I think Guy plays this on Capo 2, but this reflects the absolute chords.
The bulk of the song is simply a G-D/F#-Em-C, and the chorus breaks out with C-C-G-Em-D/F#-G-D/F#.

The fingerpicking pattern goes like this:
 G         D/F#      Em7      D/F#
|----3---3---3----|----3---3---3-|----3---3---3-|----3---3---3-|
|----3---3---3----|----3---3---3-|----3---3---3-|----3---3---3-|
|-----------------|--------------|--------------|----------0---|
|----------0------|----------0---|----------0---|------2-------|
|------2----------|------0-------|------2-------|--3-----------|
|--3--------------|--2-----------|--0-----------|--------------|

Intro:
G D/F# Em7C
G D/F# Em7C

G       D/F#  Em7    C
At night when I?m out riding
G     D/F#   Em7    C
Along the dark highway
G    D/F#    Em7    C
I get a feeling inside me
G         D/F#   Em7   C
To throw all that I have away.

G         D/F#  Em7    C
And I'll leave all this behind me
     G     D/F#    Em7    C
Like that job that I had in the day
    G       D/F#     Em7    C
All the black dressing soul testing lovers and liars
    G        D/F#  Em7    C
And the speeding tickets I never pay

(Interlude, mostly just strumming these chords:)
C C G D/F# Em7 D/F# G D/F#


G    D/F#   Em7      C
Do you believe in love at first sight
   G     D/F#  Em7    C
As a matter of fact I do
G   D/F#    Em7   C
Every time that I open my eyes
G  D/F#     Em7    C
That saying comes true

   G   D/F#    Em7     C
Cause I see you in the laundromat
G      D/F#       Em7   C
Black Irish washerwoman in a funeral hat
G      D/F#    Em7   C
Italian ballerina on an asphalt stage
G      D/F#     Em7  C
Bleach blond born of a Victorian age


Chorus:
C     G      D/F#    Em7  D/F#  G D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G      D/F#      Em7    C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G    D/F#    G
as we ride away in the light.

-Solo goes here-
|: G D/F# Em7C :| x3
G D/F# G

    G   D/F#      Em7  C
And if I were to take you by force
  G   D/F#Em   C
And carry you away
G  D/F#    Em7  C
   Back to my bedroom
G    D/F#   Em7   C
Just for music to play

    G      D/F#      Em7    C
And I'd play you the songs that I've written
    G      D/F#     Em7   C
And the ones that I can't seem to write
G      D/F#       Em7     C
Maybe you'd know what you're missing
G      D/F#     Em7    C
Maybe you'd stay past the night

Chorus:
C     G      D/F#    Em7  D/F#  G D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G      D/F#      Em7    C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G    D/F#    G
as we ride away in the light.


  G     D/F#       Em7    C
My father he built me this backpack
    G      D/F#    Em7    C
Just an inch or two big for real
   G     D/F#      Em7    C
I'll pack my guitar and the smoke from this bar
  G       D/F#  Em7   C
My songs and one hot meal

     G      D/F#      Em7     C
And I'll ride to the west chasing sunsets like gold
  G     D/F#      Em7  C
At dawn I will ride to the east
   G      D/F#         Em7     C
I'll find all the friends that I've lost on the road
   G     D/F#      Em7     C
Maybe then I'll know me some peace


Chorus:
C     G      D/F#    Em7  D/F#  G D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G      D/F#      Em7    C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G    D/F#    G
as we ride away in the light.


    G    D/F#      Em7    C
There's so much more to this wonderful world
   G   D/F#    Em7    C
Then we are sold on TV
  G     D/F#      Em7  C
So tell me if you are not already dead
   G        D/F#      Em7    C
That you'll come and live it with me

      G    D/F#       Em7    C
Leave your college plans to your one-night stands
   G     D/F#       Em7    C
Your business clothes and the rest
    G      D/F#      Em7      C
There's pleasure enough in your heart and your hands
G     D/F#    Em7    C
Blue jeans suit you best


Chorus:
C     G      D/F#    Em7  D/F#  G D/F#
America - where goest thou in thy shiny car at night
G      D/F#      Em7    C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G    D/F#    G
as we ride away in the light.




G      D/F#      Em7    C
Children of Jack - we will never turn back
  G    D/F#    G
as we ride away in the light.
