Slug Line by John Hiatt, from 1979's "Slug Line". Written by John Hiatt. [Intro] Dm G E [Verse 1]
Dm G                 C      A
I  went to the marketplace

A                       Dm
They said they liked my face

G                     E7
Better than a digital watch

E7
You got it, we're pros and we can spot it

   Dm G                      C
So I  thought it was some disease

    A                      Dm
But they were all on their knees

        G
Shakin' hands with my picture

E7
First we sterilize it

E7
Then we merchandise it

E7
Everybody tries

E7
Everybody buys it
[Chorus]
     F      C     Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Well that's fine

C             F    C   Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Put me on the slug line

               Dm         G
Punch a pretty hole in my mind

    Dm               G
And show me where to sign

    Dm            G    C
And put me on the slug line
[Verse 2]
Dm   G                C
They told me how to behave

     A                Dm
Like any other public slave

G                   E7
Keep a smile on the face of the consumer

   E7
Or you'll become a rumor

   Dm G                   C
So I  got a band of angry sons

A                        Dm
Now we're havin' so much fun

G
Tearin' up the nation

E7
Weapons out of mic stands

E7
Bitin' on the glad hand

E7
They still don't understand

E7
That they were marketing a madman
[Chorus]
    F      C     Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
And that's fine

C             F    C   Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Put me on the slug line

               Dm         G
Punch a pretty hole in my mind

    Dm               G
And show me where to sign

    Dm            G
And put me on the slug-

     F      C     Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Well that's fine

C             F    C   Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Put me on the slug line

               Dm         G
Punch a pretty hole in my mind

    Dm               G
And show me where to sign

    Dm            G    C
And put me on the slug line
[Bridge]
F#7               Bm
  You made one mistake

E9            A6
  You made me wait
[Chorus]
    F      C     Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Well that's fine

C             F    C   Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Put me on the slug line

               Dm         G
Punch a pretty hole in my mind

And show me where to sign

And put me on the slug-

     F      C     Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Well that's fine

C             F    C   Csus2 C Csus2 C Csus2 C
Put me on the slug line

               Dm          G
Couldn't lay a glove on my mind

   Dm               G
So show me where to sign

    Dm            G    C  C/G Dm C
And put me on the slug li-yi- yi-yine
