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
