[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D
The Gypsy King is dealing his cards
                       C
From the bottom of the deck
D                                    C
 Hasn't won a hand, leastways not as yet
    G
The table's getting angry
                          D
Some have folded up their cards
D
Others keep on betting
     C                        G/B               G
Even though they know they're playing a loser's game
                         D
Looking for the one-eyed Jack
 
[Verse 2]
D
Salome is frying chicken
                                          C
And the smell of grease is filling up the room
D                                             C
John the Baptist, well he's left the game too soon
G                              D
Salome has a frying pan in her hand
              D
She'd like to take out the kind of man
     C           G/B               G
That everyone is watching as she's going after
             D
The one-eyed Jack
 
[Verse 3]
D                                              C
Some people want to party others are trying to leave
D
Some are telling stories that are
                              C
That are just impossible to believe
    G                                  D
The long day's journey is turning into night
D                            C             G/B
Salome looks crazy and she's higher than a kite
G
No one is in favor
                D
Of the one-eyed Jack

[Verse 4]
D                                  C
Money and power is the name of the game
D
It started out as Spit In The Ocean
                        C
But things have rapidly changed
        G                                   D
It will never go back to the way it used to be
D                                    C
Nature deals with no one, what's the cause
   G/B                G
So many eyes will not see
                  D
It's the one-eyed Jack
 
[Verse 5]
    D
I'd like to go somewhere safe
                      C
Watch the world as it changes
    D
And become a folk singer
                                      C
Sing a song that stops corruption and pain
    G
But there's no reason for that now
                 D
We're a long way somehow
     D                     C                G/B   G
We'd better make a move or become the victim of
                    D
That lying one-eyed Jack
 
[Outro]
