Cactus Jack

Cactus Jack
by Dave Robinson, 2 April 2024
verse 1
my Am name is cactus C jack .. I’ve got a G suitcase on my back ..
I saw Am rhinestones on the C sleepers as I G crossed the railway track ..
D I’m one of many hopeful souls I’m C tryin’ to reach beyond my goals
my G wait is in the time of sands .. my Am fate is in god’s faithful hands
god C bless the farmer’s daughter, who G took me to the brink
they D say there’s holy water there for C all who thirst to drink .. G ..
verse 2
wrap your Am hair inside your C turban, that you G wear with trust and pride
you got Am everything to C live for, and you G got no need to hide
what D ever would be worth your while, that C thing for what you strive
if there’s a G slippery slope to slide, my friend, you’ll Am take it in your stride
be my C guest, do me a favour man, G any way you choose
in your D quest to be the best .. may C you be not abused .. G ..
verse 3
we are Am walking on a C tight-rope, to a G land we do not know
I Am cannot give up C hope .. I G must go with the flow
D maybe I will prosper, C maybe I will fail
G if my luck would falter, I Am might end up in jail
I’m like a C jack inside a box, of G carbon-dated rocks
my D fate will have its way .. there’s C nothing more to say .. G ..
