Chords

[Intro] A [Verse 1]
A
Johnny’s in the basement
Mixing up the medicine I’m on the pavement Thinking about the government
    A
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off Says he’s got a bad cough Wants to get it paid off
D
Look out kid
It’s somethin’ you did
A
God knows when
But you’re doin’ it again
           A
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin’ for a new friend
    E
The man in the coon-skin cap
By the big pen
       A
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten [Instrumental] A [Verse 2]
A
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot Talkin’ that the heat put Plants in the bed but
    A
The phone’s tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May Orders from the D.A.
D
Look out kid
Don’t matter what you did
A
Walk on your tiptoes
Don’t try “No-Doz”
A
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
E
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
    A
You don’t need a weatherman
To know which way the wind blows [Instrumental] A [Verse 3]
    A
Oh, get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well Ring bell, hard to tell If anything is goin’ to sell
A
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you fail
D
Look out kid
You’re gonna get hit
    A
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
A
Hang around the theaters

E
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin’ for a new fool
A
Don’t follow leaders
Watch the parkin’ meters [Instrumental] A [Verse 4]
   A
Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance Get dressed, get blessed
            A
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts Don’t steal, don’t lift Twenty years of schoolin’ And they put you on the day shift
D
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
       A
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
A
Don’t wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
E
 Don’t wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
    A
The pump don’t work
’Cause the vandals took the handles [Outro] A
