Dan’s Big Awesome Acoustic Songbook

Jackyl - The Lumberjack

Originally in A, I play in A and sing an octave down

Intro

Vox on the 1

AI was born in the backwoods

Of a two-bit nowhere town

Fathered up some rock and roll baby

So you mothers could boogie down

DI ain’t whistling dixie

No I’m a rebel with a groAove

All arEound the world they go ‘round and ‘round

DWhen they dig on my new stainless sAteel sound

A→ D→ Oh Ayeah → E

I say I’m a lAumberjack now baby

And I’m gonna cut you down to size

I’m a lDumberjack now baby

And you’re the one, you’re the one that gets mAy prize

When you hEear my motor running

DYou know I surely, I Asurely be coppin’ a riDse, Aoh so we’ll Ecrank it up go down there too

Chainsaw solo

AADA

EDA→ D→ A→ E

I’m a lAumberjack now baby

I’m a lDumberjack now baby

Oooh I’m a lAumberjack now baby

But I ain’t jEacked my lumber baby

Hard stop on the IV

DSince my chain saw you

A→ A7/G→ D/F#→ Ebdim7→ E

Bb7→ A7

Spoken

Whether you like it or whether you don’t

That’s the way we like it
