Cracker Jack

Tom: A
A D E A

[Verse 1]
A D
Once I had a little dog
E A
I called him Cracker Jack
D
He had a spot around one eye
E A
That looked just like a patch
His legs were way too long
D A
And he was awkward as could be
D A
He wasn't much to look at
E A
But he looked alright to me

[Verse 2]
A D
I found him by the river bank
E A
Just wandering about
D
He was cold and hungry
E A
And his ribs were sticking out
I snapped my fingers, whistled
D A
When he came, I picked him up
D A
I was just a kid
E A
And Cracker Jack was just a pup

[Verse 3]
A D
I took him home and fed him
E A
'Til he couldn't eat no more
D
I took him to my room
E A
And put a blanket on the floor
After that beside my bed
D A
Is where he'd always sleep
D A
Each night in my prayers
E A
I'd pray the lord his soul to keep

[Chorus]
D
Cracker Jack
A
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack
E
But he was more than that
A playmate, a companion
A
He was love and understanding
D
That was Cracker Jack
A
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack

E
But he was more than that
Everything a kid could want
A
I had in Cracker Jack

[Verse 4]
Bb Eb
Cracker Jack would run to meet me
F Bb
After school each day
Eb
He'd jump and wag his tail
F Bb
And look at me as if to say
"I love you and I've missed you
Eb Bb
And I'm glad you're home again"
Eb Bb
I knew just how he felt
F Bb
'Cause me and Cracker Jack was friends

[Verse 5]
Eb
Through the woods and fields
F Bb
We would often roam about
Eb
And when we got in trouble
F Bb
We would help each other out
Eb Bb
I could run almost as fast as Cracker Jack could run
Eb Bb
We had a lot in common
F Bb
And we had a lot of fun

[Verse 6]
Eb
He was always with me
F Bb
When I was growing up
Eb
We shared each other's good times
F Bb
And we shared each other's love
He only lives in memories now
Eb Bb
But often I think back
Eb Bb
To the days of childhood
F Bb
The days of Cracker Jack

[Chorus]
Eb
Cracker Jack
