        Fm           Eb          D
Jackson made twenty tapes in a day
        Eb    Db    C         Eb       Db    C      Eb    Db    C
To give away,          a-give away
         Ab
And he'd play
      Cm                                     Db
The tunes they'd call creative when they're running out of names
E                                Ab
Heaven knows he's really torn it now
         Cm                                       Db
But the names, it hurt poor Jackson, stopped the haters in his way
E
Heaven knows he's for it
Ab  Cm        Db
Sha-ame, hey, hey
E                                     F#   F
He was never quite unsure, but really sane
          F#  F
Wants to play

Jackson stole twenty souls in a day
         Eb  Db  C           Eb  Db  C
To take away,       a-take away
         Eb   Db  C
He takes away
            Ab   F# F
And no complaints
                  Bb             C#  C C7/Bb
Heart's upon his sleeve and his blade
      C                          Fm           Eb            D
Wood Jackson took the beating everyday, given out, passed away
         Eb  Db C           Eb  Db C
Another way,          hey, hey
              Eb  Db C
Just wants to play
              Ab
And how he'd play
    Cm                                        Db
The mob, they bleed and tremble when they're running after life
E                                Ab
Heaven knows he's really torn it now
     Cm                                            Db
The words that killed Wood Jackson's friends were written on the wall

   Heaven knows he's for it

Shame

Just wants to play
