Poor Jackie Lauderland
(c) Rick Landers (2018)
(2/__)

D C
Poor Jackie Lauderland's caught in an old dream
D C
Poor Jackie Lauderland's caught in his own scheming
G D
Don't think it'll die
D C
He thinks of Sheila in colors and flowers and
G D
hair hanging down in her eyes

D C
Well, she was his only and he 21
G D
They had a love all thought would last
C
But Jackie's 28 and Sheila got married
G D
She never thinks of the past

But, to Jackie it's forever
C
and he carries her photo
G D
though it's all tattered and torn

and sometimes he cries at night
C
he never tries to fight it
G. D
he's so alone

D C G-D
Poor Jackie Lauderland's caught in an old dream
D C G-D
Poor Jackie Lauderland's caught in his own scheming
G D
Don't think it'll die
D C
He thinks of Sheila in colors and flowers and
G D
hair falling down in her eyes

(Instrumental break) - F, C, D; F, C, D, F, C, D,G,D

D C
He whispers love words and reaches out
G. D
and his Sheila disappears
C
An old love letter passed in school
G D
It's beginning to tear

But, to Jackie it's forever
C
and he keeps his promises
G D
though Sheila's far away

and he'll keep waiting
C
He'll keep anticipating
G D
'til the end of his days

D C D
Poor Jackie Lauderland's caught in an old dream
D C D
Poor Jackie Lauderland's caught in his own scheming
G D
Don't think it'll die
D C
He thinks of Sheila in colors and flowers and
G D
hair falling down in her eyes

D C
He thinks of Sheila in colors and flowers
G D
With love in her eyes
G D
With love in her eyes
G. D
With love….
