Am G F E7
Hit the road Jack. Don't you come back
Am G F E7
no more, no more, no more, no more
Am G F E7
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back
Am G F E7
no more
Oh woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest woman I've ever seen
I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go
Hit the road Jack...
Now baby, listen baby, don't-a treat me this-a way
For I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood
You ain't got no money you just ain't no good
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)
Hit the road Jack...
(Repeat and fade) Don't you come back no more
Hit the road Jack. Don't you come back
Am G F E7
no more, no more, no more, no more
Am G F E7
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back

Oh woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest woman I've ever seen
I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go

Now baby, listen baby, don't-a treat me this-a way
For I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood
You ain't got no money you just ain't no good

Hit the road Jack...
