JACK  AMD  DIANE      (JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP)


A      E           D          E 
Little ditty about Jack and Diane 
A            E              D           A 
Two american kids growin up in the heartland 
A             E    D        E 
Jacky's gonna be a football star 
A         E                 D       A 
Diane debutante backseat of Jacky's car


Suckin' on chili dogs outside the tastee freeze 
Diane's sittin' on Jacky's lap, he's got his hand between her knees 
Jacky say "Hey Diane lets run off behind a shady tree" 
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks let me do what I please. 
And Jacky says

Refrain:

A  E    D         E 
Oh yeah life goes on 
A              E         D        E 
Long after the thrill of livin is gone 
A  E        D         E 
Oh yeah say life goes on 
A              E         D        A 
long after the thrill of livin is gone, they walk on

Jacky sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment 
Scratches his head and does his best James Dean. 
Well you know Diane, we oughtta run of the city 
Diane says "Baby, you aint missin' nothing" 
Jacky says

Refrain

A            D     A      E 
Gonna let it rock, let it roll 
A             D                  A       E 
Let the Bible Belt come down and save my soul 
A          D     A           E 
Hold on to 16 as long as you can 
A             D                       E         A 
Changes come around real soon make us women and men

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
