G                                            Bm/F#
What have you got way on down in your smile?
Em
One-eyed Jack is a joker so wild
G                                         Bm/F#
He sees it coming, he gets out of the way
Em
One-eyed Jack, he got nothin' to say
D      C        D                     G    D  D7
He got nothin', no no, got nothin' to say.


G... (same as 1st verse)
One horse town, dog on a bark
Jack jump in the game just for a lark
To the dealer he looks like Buddha with the blues
He always wins, he don't mind to lose
He don't mind, no no, he don't mind to lose.


CHORUS:
G+     Am                   Em
If you cheat, you never get caught
D        C                         G
Breakin' dealers like lovers break hearts
G+       Am                   Em
What you got way down in your smile
           D              Am   (intro chords & melody notes).....D7
A joker so wild, one-eyed Jack, one-eyed Jack


G...
Cross-eyed queens love one-eyed Jack
But the ladies they know Jack never comes back
They're stuck on the (??) highway very first light of day
Lookin' for a town and a new game to play
They're just lookin', for a town, and a new game to play

[instrumental verse]

[repeat CHORUS]

G                                            
What have you got way on down in your smile?
Bm/F#   Em  
O-oh, a one-eyed Jack is a joker so wild
(repeat the above 2 lines, 4 times total, vocal improvisation 3rd & 4th
times)

         Am  (intro chords and melody notes)................D7  Gmaj7add9
One-eyed jack, one-eyed jack, one-eyed jack, one-eyed jack



NOTE: G+ = same as G chord, but the G note goes up to G#.
      If that doesn't make sense, play E7 chord (perhaps with G# bass?).
