D
He asked me for a dollar, I said go get a job
G                                         D
I turned up my collar and started walking off
D
He said I don't blame you, I know what you think
G                             Bm          A 
I'll just spend your money to buy another drink


Chorus:
                   G
But you don't know Jack, Double shoot, 80 proof on the rocks
             D                            G
Until you've lost it all and you can't go back
G                                                       D
To your life and your kids and your ex-wife with just a telephone call
       Bm                           G                                    D
If you think is just a bottle in an old brown paper sack, you don't know Jack

D                                 
He showed me a picture of two little girls
G                                       D
Wearin' Easter dresses, hair done up in curls
D
He said God bless their mama, she said I couldn't stay
G                                          Bm           A   
But buddy if you're wondering, how could I throw it all away

Chorus:
               G
You don't know Jack, Double shoot, 80 proof on the rocks
             D                            G
Until you've lost it all and you can't go back
G                                                       D
To your life and your kids and your ex-wife with just a telephone call
       Bm                           G                                    D
If you think is just a bottle in an old brown paper sack, you don't know Jack



Bridge:
          Bm                G
If you've never felt a fire running through your veins
          Bm                   A
If you've never seen the devil face to face


Chorus 2:
               G
You don't know Jack, double shoot, 80 proof on the rocks
             D                              G
Till you've lost it all, so brother just be glad
G                                                        D
And tonight, hold your kids, kiss your wife and when you talk to God
Bm                                                  G                   D
Count up all your blessings and thank the Good Lord that you don't know Jack
                  G      D      G
No you don't know Jack
