A bunch of people were requesting this after EC's VH1 rehearsal show.

This is actually an older version -- EC changed around a bunch of the

lyrics and the structure a little bit, and I think I actually prefer the

original. His take is also half a step off of this (though I can't

remember if his is higher or lower).

Share and enjoy, as always.

AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins

Transcription by Brian Davies

Comments and corrections to davies@ils.nwu.edu

[Bb] There ain't nothin' [D7] I can do, [Gm] nor nothin' I can [D7] say,

[G7] That folks don't [Dm7] cri[G7]ti[Cm]cize [G7] me.

[Cm] But I'm gonna [G7] do just as I [Cm] want to any[C]way,

[C7] I don't care if they all des[F#7]pise [F7] me.

[Bb] If I should [D7] take a notion

[Gm] To jump in[Eb]to the ocean,

[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]

[Bb] Rather than [D7] persecute me,

[Gm] I choose that [Eb] you would shoot me,

[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]

[Bb] If I should [D7] get the feelin'

[Gm] To dance up[Eb]on the ceiling',

[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]

[Bb] If I let my [D7] best companion

[Gm] Drive me right in[Eb]to the canyon,

[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]

[Bb] After all the [D7] way to do [Gm] is do just as you [D7] please,

[G7] Regardless [Dm7] of [G7] their [Cm] talk[G7]in'

[Cm] Often times the [G7] ones that talk will get [Cm] down on their [C] knees,

[C7] And beg your pardon for their [F#7] squak[F7]in'. (sp?)

[Bb] If I dis[D7]like my lover

[Gm] And leave (him/her) [Eb] for another,

[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]

[Bb] If I go to [D7] church on Sunday,

[Gm] Then caba[Eb]ret on Monday,

[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]

[Bb] If my friend ain't [D7] got no money

[Gm] And I say, "Take [Eb] all mine honey,"

[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do. [G7] [C7] [F7]

[Bb] If I lend (him/her) [D7] my last nickel

[Gm] And it leaves me [Eb] in a pickle,

[Bb] It ain't nobody's [F7] business if I [Bb] do.
