D A/C# D/F# E/G#
Everybody's always looking for Jack
D A/C# D/F# E/G#
In the fire in the water
D A/C# D/F# E/G#
Everybody's always looking for Jack
D A/C# D/F# E/G#
In the streets and on the corners
D A/C# D/F# E/G#
I always wanted to be like Jack
D A/C# D/F# E/G#
He's as cool as they come
D A/C# D/F# E/G#

I'm not sure about the chorus, but the best I could get was:
D2 D/C# E2
Someday Someday
D2 D/C# E2
Someday Someday
The same pattern is used throughout. If you have any better ideas about the the chorus
please do comment.
