Chords

Guitars tuned down a half step so Eb, Bb, Gb, Db, Ab, eb, No capo. There seems to be a rhythm part over the chorus that's got a reggae feel, upstroke on every offbeat. Intro G C G D G C G D G
G
A man was bothering me today and I

C
wanted to tell him to go away

G                                             D
But I stood and listened to him anyway, okay.

G
He said he didn't want to shoot that man

C
And it was his thing and I wouldn't understand

G                           D       G
And he had done all that he can, okay.
Break (Repeat Intro chords)
G
I guess his body was as good as mine

C
And just like me he was wasting time

G                                                         D
Turning over every stone to see what he could find, okay.

G
He was filling his tank and he asked for money

C
I lied and said I didn't have any

G                                 D                        G
Then my conscious took over and I gave him a hand full of change.

C                 G
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.

D                 G
Stay right there.

C                  G             E7
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there

Am7         D       G
You don't seem to care
Break (repeat intro chords)
G
I know its hard to survive in the city

C
When the beautiful days don't look so pretty

G                                                       D
And you don't have windows to keep the night away, okay.

G
He was dirty and stinky and just a bit crude

C
But I didn't say that because that's kind of rude

G                                           D                G
And he didn't care what I had to say in the first place, okay.
Break (repeat intro chords)
G                                            C
I wanted to say you're a big disgrace to the world, yourself, and the human race

G                                                       D
And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okay.

G
No its not okay and I didn't do that

      C                                      G                    D
But I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and told him to have a very nice

               G
rest of the day

C                 G
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.

D                 G
Stay right there.

You'll lie there.  You'll lie there

G
Guess he bought some booze with it

    C                                     G
And sure that bothers me a little bit but it's his life and I can't tell him

              D
how to live it

      G                                  C
As he turned and started to go his way I tried to think of something wise to
(Stop playing for a pause) say like... Just on the bass notes leading up to the C play G,A,B,C, listen to the song for it.
C                 G
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
