Me
Tell
You
A (G major) (A major) (D major) (C major)
(D minor) (B flat major) (A major) (D minor) (C major) I
(B flat major) Know
(A major) me (D minor) tell you about a (B flat major) boy I know
(A major) The (D minor) folks all called (A major) him
Jit (B flat major) terbug
Joe
(A major) He (D major) was long and (G major) lean and thin
And he (A major) didn't have a lot
of whiskers (D major) on his chin
His (A major) (D major) hair was (D minor) slick as a (B flat major) horse's mane
(A major) He (D major) shone like (D minor) a headlight on (B flat major) a train. (A major)
(D major) Life to him was vodo (G major) -de -o,
this kid (A major) called
Jitterbug
Joe. (D major)
His high (F sharp major) school grades were aw (B minor) ful,
and they (F sharp major) never did improve.
(B minor) But when (E major) it come to dan (A major) cing,
he could do the boogie -woogie
and be right in the groove.
He (D major) took first prize (C major) at the (B flat major) county fair
(A major) for (D major) dancing (D minor) longer (C major) than anyone (B flat major) there.
(A major) But (D major) he'd go to sleep on
the (G major) end of a hole,
This kid (A major) called
Jitterbug
Joe. (D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) (D minor) (C major) (B flat major) (A major) (D minor) (C major)
(B flat major) (A major)
The old (D minor) town gossips shook (B flat major) their head, (A major)
And (D major) said, my, my, (A major) it's just too bad.
Puts (D major) grease in his hair, the (B minor) little brat. (G major)
He'll (A major) never be nothing but
a (D major) darn happy cat.
Yellow tie (C major) an (D minor) d checkered (B flat major) socks. (A major)
He (D major) sure is head (C major) and right
(D minor) square (B flat major) for the rocks.
(A major) If (D major) he was mine, I'd lay (B minor) down (G major) the rule.
I'd (A major) send him to a reform school. (D major)
Then
Joe (F sharp major) left town one mid (B minor) night.
And (F sharp major) didn't they all ha -ha?
(B minor) They smiled (E major) and smirked
and whispered, (A major)
He's gone and done something
and he's dodging the law.
Just a (D minor) bunch of buzzards
look (B flat major) ing smug, (A major)
Another (D major) grave (D minor) (C major) they
thought (B flat major) they'd dug, (A major)
But (D major) several things they did (G major) n't know
About the (A major) kid called
Jitterbug
Joe. (D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) (D minor) (C major) (B flat major) (A major) (D minor)
(B flat major)
(A major) A year went (D major) by, (D minor) and (C major) then one day, (A major) as (D minor) the buzzards met in their usu (B flat major) al way,
(A major) (D major) to mull over gos (C major) sip old (G major) and new, a (A major) man walked up and said,
(D major) How do you do?
(A major) Three (D major) bright (C major) stripes were on (B flat major) his arm. (A major)
A (D minor) medal was pinned on his uni (B flat major) form. (A major)
His (D minor) eyes were clear an (D major) d his voice (G major) was low.
It was
(A major) Sergeant
Jitterbug
Joe. (D major)
Oh, (F sharp major) you old gossip monger (B minor) s,
don't your (F sharp major) tongues ever
get in a cramp? (B minor)
If it (E major) wasn't for kids just like
Jit (A major) terbug
Joe,
you'd be heiling
Hitler in a (A major) concentration camp.
They're (D major) out there (D minor) fighting
(C major) while (B flat major) you sit around
(A major) with (D major) nothing (D minor) to do (C major) but
(D minor) run (B flat major) folks down. (A major)
Take (D major) off your hats and (G major) bow down low
to (A major) kids like
Jitterbug
Joe. (D major) (G major) (A major)
You (D major)
