(Spoken Bridge– All throughout in 8ves |C\\D\\|Em\\\\|)

But as they were hugging each other, Jill cut her hand up on one of the

spikes on his back. And she said, "Jack, what the fuck is this? You have

spikes on your back! And he tore away his trench coat, and he pulled off his

little mask and his snout popped out and she said, "Are you- you actually

are a hedgehog!" "Yes, I was trying to tell you, babe. I've been trying to

tell you for a week." "Four years, Jack, you've been keeping this from me!

Four years, you little crazy fuck! What were you doing? What were you

thinking!" And she picked Jack

 up, and she kicked him high into the air! G D/F♯ C/E

(Sung)

GJack went flyingD/F♯ through the air C/E

 Like a biD/F♯g ball of hedgehog

D/F♯And all the while, he was singing:

G"Goodbye my lover, goodbye D/F♯my friend

C/EYou have been the one..." D/F♯

 (Spoken repeat |G\\\\|D/F♯\\\\|C/E\\\\|D/F#\\\\|)

And after he'd done singing James Blunt's entire extended repertoire, two albums

to date, he came to rest through the

 open window of a yellow taxi cab in FranGkston.

(Sung)

AmHedgehog in a taxi, will he pay the fare?G

AmHedgehog in a taxi, does the driver even know that he's thGere?

 The driver did kFnow he was there

 And they chaGrged Jack the fare

 But FJack disagreed with the two dollar fifty flagfall G

AmHedgehog in a taxi, getting fiscal

GDidn't like the driver, pulled a pistol

AmOut shot the driver, couldn't revive her

GYou all thought that she was a man but she was a woman, you

 are sexist Am G

AmHedgehog in a taxi, hedgehog on the run

 There are twentyG cops behind him but they know he's got a gun

 So he's gotAmta keep on going, petrol flowing

 But Gnow he's been surrounded and he's slowing down F

 He's in an alleyway G

 The cops areF are and they

 Are just about to shoot G

(Spoken - No Chords here apart from when appropriate play the chorus - |G\\Bm7\\|C\(rest for 3)|)

And then Jill came running in through the alleyway. She said, "Stop! Don't

shoot the little prick! Can't you see he's not man! He's just a hedgehog!"

But as she was playing the grand piano she'd wheeled into the alleyway for

dramatic effect, the policemen riddled Jack's little body with bullets and

then started playing soccer with his corpse. Final scores were Victoria

Police 3, Jack's corpse nil. Some say it was an unfair match. And all the

while, Jill kept on playing.
