Am G
Jackie left on a cold, dark night telling me he'd be home,
F Am
he sailed the sea for a hundred years and left me all alone.
Am G
Now i've been dead for twenty years i've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears
F Am
Searching the shores for my jackie oooh.
Am G
And I remember the day that the young man came said your jackie's gone
F Am
He's lost in the rain and i ran to the beach laid me down
Am G
You're all wrong, i said as they stared to the sand, that man knows the seas
F Am
Like the back of his hand, he'll be back sometime laughing at you.
Am G
I've been waiting all this time, for my man to come take his hand in mine
G Am
And lead me away to unseen shores.
Am G
i've been washing the sand with my salty tears searching the shores these long years
F Am
and I walked the sea forevermore
G Am G
till I find my jackie oooh,
Am - G
jackie oooh,
Am - G
jackie oooh,
Am - G - Am
jackie ooo-oo-ooh.
