Released on February 9th 2004, "Jacqueline" is the opening track from Franz
Ferdinand's debut homonym album. The song's intro goes in crescendo to
reach bright and rhythmic verses. The harmonies walk around 3 chords, making
it a very easy song.

Jacqueline was seventeen
                      Ab                    Bb
Working on a desk when Ivor peered above a spectacle
 
Forgot that he had wrecked a girl
Cm               Ab                           Bb
 Sometimes these eyes forget the face they're peering from
 
When the face they peer upon
G                            Cm
 Well, you know that face as I do
                 Ab
And how in the return of the gaze
          Bb
She can return you the face
              Cm
That you are staring from

CHORUS
 
Cm           Eb        Bb
 It's always better on holiday
Cm       Eb        Bb
 So much better on holiday
Cm             Eb   Bb
 That's why we only work when
Cm  Eb       Bb
 We need the money
 
 
BRIDGE

Gregor was down again
    Ab
Said "come on, kick me again"
    Bb
Said "I'm so drunk I don't mind if you kill me"
Cm           Ab            Bb
Come on you, gutless, I'm alive, oh, I'm alive!
G
Oh, I'm alive!
 
          Cm
And how I know it's true
        Ab            Bb
But for chips and for freedom I could die
 
 
CHORUS
 
Cm           Eb        Bb
 It's always better on holiday
Cm       Eb        Bb
 So much better on holiday
Cm             Eb   Bb
 That's why we only work when
Cm  Eb       Bb
 We need the money

CHORUS
 
Cm           Eb        Bb

 So much better on holiday

 That's why we only work when
Cm  Eb       Bb.........Cm
 We need the money
