GET UP, JACK! Chrom
19th C. American folk song
Key: D


 -5   -5  -6*  -5    5*  -5  6
Ships may come and ships may go
6   -7  -7 -7   7   5*   -5
As long as the sea does roll
 -3   -5  -5 -6*  -5   5*  -5   6
Each sail-or lad like-wise his dad
6   -7    -7   7    5*  -5
He loves that flow-ing bowl
-6* -7 -7  -7  -6*  7  7  7
A lass a-shore he does a-dore
-6* -6* -6*   6   -5  -3 -7
One that is plump and round
-3   -3  -3  -5  -5 -5  -6*
But when his mon-ey is gone
 -5  -5   5*  -5   6
It’s the same old song
-7  -7   -7     7     5*  -5
Get up, Jack!  John, sit down
 -7 -7  -7    -7  -7 -7
Come a¬-long, come a-long
-6* 7  7    7    7
My jol-ly brave tars
   6     -6* -6*  6  -5 -5  -3
There’s lots of grog in the jar
 -3     -5   -5   -5 -5 5*  6
We’ll plough the brin-y o-cean 
 -7   -7   -7  -7  7   5*  -5
With those jol-ly rov-ing tars
