[Verse 1]
C    G7       C          G7   C         G7    C
Many builders there have been since the world began
Em     B7       Em       B7   Em        B7        Em
Palace cottage, mansion, inn, they have built for man
Dm                  C               G7             A7
Some were small and some were tall, log or wide or low
Dm               C           G7              C
But the best one of them all Jack built long ago
       Dm               C         D7                G7
'Twas  built in by-gone days, yet millions sing its praise

[Chorus]
C                 G7       C
Just a Love Nest, cozy and warm
       F         C7        F
Like a dove nest down on a farm
  G7                                 C   A7
A veranda with some sort of clinging vine
      Dm      A7         Dm       F     G7
and a kitchen where some rambling roses twine
       C           G7         C
Then a small room, tea set of blue
        F         C7             F
Best of all room, dream room for two
       G7                          E7  A7
Better than a palace with a gilded dome
     Dm         G7             C
is a Love Nest  - you can call home


[Verse 2]
C        G7     C          G7   C      G7      C
Building houses still goes on - now as well as then
Em      B7       Em       B7    Em    B7    Em
Ancient Jack and Jill are gone, yet return again
Dm             C            G7                 A7
Ever Comes the question old shall we build for pride,
Dm                  C           G7              C
Or should brick and mortar hold warmth and love inside?
    Dm             C          D7             G7
The answer you may know, Jack solved it long ago
