 AmJackie left on a cold, dark night Gtelling me he'd be home,
 Fhe sailed the sea for a hundred years and lAmeft me all alone.
 AmNow i've been dead for twenty years i've been wGashing the sand with my ghostly tears
 FSearching the shores for my jackie oAmooh.
And I reAmmember the day that the young man came said your Gjackie's gone 
He's lost in the rain and i Fran to the beach laid me dAmown
You're all Amwrong, i said as they stared to the sand, that man Gknows the seas
Like the back of his hand, he'll be Fback sometime laughing at Amyou.
 AmI've been waiting all this time, for my Gman to come take his hand in mine
 And Flead me away to unseen Amshores.
i've been Amwashing the sand with my salty tears sGearching the shores these long years
and I Fwalked the sea forevermAmore
till I fGind my jackie oAmooh,G  
          Am- G  
jackie oooh,
          Am- G  
jackie oooh,
          Am-  G- Am  
jackie ooo-oo-ooh.
