(riff 1)
(riff 2)
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
D A E B
But it's all right, now, in fact it`s a gás
D A E B (riff 1)
But it's all right, I'm jumping jack flash, it's a gas, gas, gas!
(riff 2)
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
D A E B
But it's all right, now, in fact it`s a gás
D A E B (riff 1)
But it's all right, I'm jumping jack flash, it's a gas, gas, gas!
(intro 4x) (riff 1)
(riff 2)
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head
D A E B
But it's all right, now, in fact it`s a gás
D A E B (riff 1)
But it's all right, I'm jumping jack flash, it's a gas, gas, gas!
(intro 6x)
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
(riff 1)
(riff 2)
