The following are the chords and lyrics for a song from one of my favorite

songwriters. Although the music is simple, the lyrics are profound.

"The Criminal Under My Own Hat" by T-Bone Burnett

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------

F#m E

I've seen a lot of criminals

F#m E

I've seen a lot of crimes

F#m E

Doing a lot of evil deeds

F#m E

Doing a lot of time

F#m E

We speak of these men as aliens

F#m E

>From some forbidden race

F#m E

We speak of these men as animals

F#m E

We will lock in a cage

INSTRUMENTAL (same alternating chords)

F#m E

But there's one man I must arrest

F#m E

I must interrogate

F#m E

One man that I must make confess

F#m E

Then rehabilitate

F#m E

There is no other I can blame

F#m E

No other I can judge

F#m E

No other I can cast in shame

F#m E

Then require blood

INSTRUMENTAL (same alternating chords)

Bridge:

E

I see him in the shadows down the hall

E

I see him in the plaster on the wall

F#m E

There is no crime he cannot commit

F#m E

No murder too complex

F#m E

His heart is filled with larceny

F#m E

And violence and sex

F#m E

His heart is filled with envy

F#m E

And revenge and greed

F#m E

His heart is filled with nothing

F#m E

His heart is filled with need

F#m E

He' s capable of anything

F#m E

Of any vicious act

F#m E

This criminal is dangerous

F#m E

The criminal under my own hat.
