	D
	Jack he went to high school in a little Texas town

He finished up and spent most of the next year bumming round

	G
	He couldn't find job to hold so on a Friday night

	D
	He figured he could see the world and buy a four wheel drive

	C
If he joined the	Army

	G	D
	Cause these are desperate	times

	D
	Well he came back four years later a little higher off the ground

Things there hadn't changes and that just really got him down

	G
	So he went of to San Antone an hour to the east

	D
	And got a job working for the San Antone police

	C
He had a	pistol now

	G	D
	These are desperate	times

	D
	Old Jackie he got married but his ends just wouldn't meet

His wife worked at the Texas Commerce Bank just up the street

	G
	Jack he got an idea to get him out of debt

	D
	And they could live a good life and drive a new corvette

	C
If he robbed the	bank he said

	G	D
	These are desperate	times

	G
	He had planned the whole thing and while his baby worked

	D
	He came in after hours in a black ski mask and shirt

	G
	She'd told him where the money was and that's just where he went

	D
The	minute that he saw it he already had it spent

	C
Well it wasn't	easy

	G	D
	But these are desperate	times

SOLO

	D
	He drove off to Bandera that was his home town

He had it in his mind just where he'd lay that money down

	G
	He went out to his mom's house Jack went up the hill

	D
	To bury that old suitcase full of hundred dollar bills

	C
He'd let it	sit a while

	G	D
	Cause these are desperate	times

	G
	The bank they called the g men cause they were insured by the fed

	D
	Jill she rolled on Jack cause she was in above her head

	G
	The g men gave Jack wind of this when they made his arrest

	D
	He asked her why she turned on the one that she loved best

	C	G
Well it wasn't	easy Jack

	G	D
	These are desperate	times

	C
Yea ain't that what you	always said

	G	D
	These are desperate	times
