This is an easy version, Jack doesnâ€™t play it like this (Because he's a good 
guitarist) but it sounds good anyway.
Improvise at the end with la la las etc
Sounds better played with Bar Chords on G A Bm

[Verse]
D  Bm G Bm
DThere once Gwas a wDriter
He liGked to write Dsongs
DHe had the eGyes of a fDighter
Never dGid nobody Dwrong

In the wBmords of a hoDoker who walked the cGold streets after dDark
She said,  WBmhere d'you think your going with that Glook upon your faDce
Nowhere for yBmou
He said,  IG'm going noBmwhere, wouAld you like to come Dtoo      AooooG  
He said,  GI'm going noBmwhere, wouAld you like to come Dtoo
G  A  D
So they Gmade sweet love by a sDtreetlight
While the rGaindrops washed their sDins
And as he tGrespassed into her Dlife
Well sGhe fell in love with Dhim
DWhile touching her fGace
Looking Dfor a love
He Gbegan to kiss her Deyes 
But at the tBmaste of a tDear drop he heard the Glady say goDodbye
DSo he said,  BmWhere d'you think your going with that lDook upon your face
Nowhere for yBmou
She said, GI'm going nBmowhere wAould you like to come Dtoo   oAoo  YBmeah
She said, GI'm going Bmnowhere
He said,  AI would love to come with Dyou
                 I Awould love to come with GyouD
