Hawkwind is an English rock band and one of the earliest space rock groups. The band was formed by ex-busker and blues man Dave Brock in Ladbroke Grove, London, who intended to marry simple three-chord rock with experimental electronic music. He cites his influences for the band at the time as The Moody Blues, Steve Miller Band and the krautrock scene of Kraftwerk, Neu! and particularly Can.
The band was formed in 1969 by visionary Dave Brock and although it has been subject to numerous line-up changes it is still led by him.

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
AG Jack of Shadows, nocturnal outlaw
CD Daemon of darkness, brother to the night
AD Jack of Shadows, what's he hanging out for?
CD King of the dimensions, the other side of light
EFG And when he passes
EFG He casts shades of mystery black
EFG Flowing like molasses
AG It's only Jack of Shadows on his way back
E To the kindom of thieves
DCBA 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
AGEDCBA Jack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows Jack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows Jack of Shadows, Jack of Shadows
