Jet Song


[Begins in Bb]

When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way
 -3*   3  -1  -2    3   -2 -3* -1   3  -2

From your first cigarette, to your last dyin' day
  3   -2    3*  -2 -1* -2   3   -2   -3*  3 -2  3

When you're a Jet, let 'em do what they can
 -1*    3   4 -3*   4  -3* -5*  4   3   -3*

You got brothers around, you're a family man
 4  -3*  4* -3*   3 -3*    4  -3* -5* 4 -3* 4


You're never alone, you're never disconnected
  -1   -5 -4  3  1*   -1   -5 -4  3 -1  3 -3*

You're home with your own, when company's expected
  -1   -5    -4   3    1*   -1  -5 -4  3  -1 3 -3*

You're well protected
   3    -3* -5 -6 -2


Then you are set, with a capital J
 -3* -3  -1  -2    3  -2 -3* -1 3 -2

Which you'll never forget, till they cart you away
  3    -2    3* -2  2 -2    3   -2   -3*   3 -2  3

When you're a Jet, You stay a Jet!
 -2     3   3* -3*  4   4* -5  -6


[Dialog]


[Key Change to C]

When you're a Jet, you're the top cat in town
  4   -3    2  3    -3     3   1   2  -3  3

You're the gold-medal kid, with the heavyweight crown
  -3    3  -3*  3  2   3    -3   3   4  -3   3   -3

When you're a Jet, you're the swingin'est thing
 -2    -3  -5  5     -5    5   -6  -5  -3   4

Little boy, you're a man, little man, you're a King!
 -5 5  -5*    4   -3  4   -5  5 -6     -5   5  -5


The Jets are in gear, our cylinders are clickin'
 2   6    5* -3 -1*    2   6  5* -3  2  -3  4

The Sharks'll steer clear, cause every Puerto Rican's
 2     6   5*  -3    -1*     2   6  5* -3  2  -3  4

A lousy chicken!
-3  5 6  7  3


Here come the Jets, like a bat out of hell
  4   -3   2    3    -3  3  4   2  -3  3

Someone gets in our way, someone don't feel so well
 -3  3   4   3   2   3    -3  3    4    -3   3  -3

Here come the Jets, little world, step aside
 -2   -3  -5   5    -5  5   -6     -5  -3  4

Better go underground, better run, better hide
 -5  5 -5*  4  -3  4   -5  5  -6   -5   5  -5


We're drawin' the line, so keep your noses hidden
  2   6   5*  -3   -1*   2   6   5*  -3  2  -3  4

We're hangin' a sign, says "Visitors Forbidden"
  2   6   5* -3  -1*    2    6  5* -3  2  -3  4

And we ain't kiddin
 -3  5   6    7  3


Here come the Jets, Yeah! And we're gonna beat
  4   -3    2  3     -3    3    1    2 -3  3

Every last buggin' gang, on the whole buggin' street
-3  3  -3*  3  2    3    -3  3    4   -3  3     -3

On the whole, Buggin', Ever, Lovin', Street!
 3  -3   4    -5 -5   -5* -5*  6  6    7
