G C G

I think I'm gonna call the police, I hear something upstairs

G A7 D

And I know good and well there ain't nothing good going on up there

C G C

There's probably ten or more of them sittin' all around

G D G

Smokin' that stuff and drinkin' that hard liquor down

G C G

I've been living in this city since the day I was born

G A7 D

And I've seen good times come and go and I've seen bad times drag on

C G C

I've seen white and black folks alike get treated just like sin

G D C G

And every year or so I see a new truck load of white trash movin' in

C G

When I was sixteen I had a little trouble with the law

G A7 D

He said "Boy come here" I said "Boy yourself I ain't done nothing wrong"

C G C

He grabbed me by the arm and he went upside my head

G D C G

Nobody saw nothing but I got a little spot where my hair ain't grown back yet

Solo

G C G

I used to have me a woman and a pretty fine home

G A7 D

But it took so much to keep them both going I was always out and gone

C G G

I came home one afternoon to get me change of clothes

G D C G

Caught a quick walkin', slick talkin', guitar picker headin' out my back door

C G

Now I'm proud to say I ain't never been no violent man

G A7 D

But I'd sure be rotting in jail today if I'd had me a gun in my hand

C G C

I went inside and threw her clothes on the floor and laid a suitcase across the bed

G C C G

Not a word got spoke, not a lick got throwed and my woman ain't come back yet

Solo

G C G

Now I live in this building with the punks and the freaks

G A7 D

And I don't do much of nothing except go to work, come home, and drink

C G C

So guitar man you done picked the wrong damn place to stay

G C C G

I'm a feeble old man, you're a young smart-ass and there's a lawman on his way
