HAWKWIND - "jack of shadows" Tablature
Official HAWKWIND Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: "David Weingart" <phydeaux@emerald.Princeton.EDU>
This is the same key as on the album (PXR5, which a friend of mine who
was a cinema major way back when tells me is a type of movie film).
There's an intstrumental part between the second and third verses, which
I don't have the chords to. Anyone want to tackle it?
Title: Jack of Shadows
Artist: Hawkwind
A G
Jack of Shadows, nocturnal outlaw
C D
Daemon of darkness, brother to the night
A D
Jack of Shadows, what's he hanging out for?
C D
King of the dimensions, the other side of light
E F G
And when he passes
E F G
He casts shades of mystery black
E F G
Flowing like molasses
A G
It's only Jack of Shadows on his way back
E
To the kindom of thieves
D C B A
Before the skies crack
Jack of Shadows, cloak of constellations
Draped around his body, blanking out his face
Jack of Shadows, don't believe in God, he
Steals from the future, fades without a trace
And when the flames flare
Flickering forms of velvet dark
He plays his games there
It's only Jack of Shadows, he's lit up by a spark
To run into the umbra as fast as a shark
Jack of Shadows, ultraviolet eyesight
Giving him the vision, that cats-eye infrared
Jack of Shadows, watch him as he flies right
Through all of the umbras, quicker than the dead
And when he passes
He casts shades of mystery black
Flowing like molasses
It's only Jack of Shadows on his way back
To the kindom of thieves
Before the skies crack
A G E D C B A
Jack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows
Jack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows
Jack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official HAWKWIND tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
