 A                    B                 D   A
Sunday, and mum was cleaning up Jack's room 
         A            B                             D   A
I could call it, the beginning of this household's doom 
        A                  B
After knowing her son for 18 years, 
      D                          A      
she did not expect to find these items here. 
    Esus4  E     Dsus4      Dsus4 D Dadd9
In Jack's room, behind the cup--boa--rd, 
      A            D           Dsus4 D  A
she finds pretty stockings & dresses & heels. 
    Esus4  E     Dsus4      Dsus4 D Dadd9
In Jack's room, behind the cup--boa--rd, 
     A            D         A---
she finds pretty dresses & heels. 

Down the stairs in a confused state of mind. 
mother tells dad, our son has something to hide 
As he follows her back up to Jack's room 
really not knowing what to presume. 
In Jack's room behind the cupboard 
they find pretty stockings & dresses & heels 
In Jack's room behind the cupboard, 
they find pretty dresses & heels. 

Bm
And now Jack is walking home 
  A
Thinks there is nothing wrong 
Bm                G   F#     A
He even stops to buy some flowers 
 Bm
For his dearest folks, 
 A
cause they're such a joke 
 Bm                     A
They want to clean his room for hours 

And now Jack's in a confused state of mind 
mother asks him, he doesn't know how to reply 
Then dad suddenly, goes bright red 
and says, ive got something to confess 
In Jack's room behind the cupboard 
They're my pretty stockings & dresses & heels 
In Jack's room, behind the cupboard 
they're my pretty dresses & heels.

Practise the barre chord B

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
