If you were [
D
] looking for a way to [
G
] get me mad
It was a [
D
] sure fire way you [
G
] found
[
D
] Acting like a [
G
] half-wit fool, [
A
] laying your money [
A7
]
around
Well, I  [
D
] came back to [
G
] tell you Lou,
^?bout [
D
] what you almost [
G
] did
Don^?t you [
A
] ever put the cash on the [
C
] counter, Lou,
[
F
] when I^?m [
C
] with my [
G
] kid

Yeah, the [
D
] kid^?s 13, he^?s [
G
] growin^? Lou, two years
And [
D
] he^?ll be bigger than [
G
] me
Still he [
D
] think^?s I^?m strong as a [
G
] blacksmith and
[
A
] straighter than the tall oak [
A7
] tree
I [
D
] raised him alone ten [
G
] years now,
since his [
D
] momma ran [
G
] away
Well, you [
A
] ain^?t gonna blow his [
C
] image of me
With a [
F
] stunt like you [
C
] pulled [
G
] today

chorus
[
G
] They took the copper right outta the penny, Lou
They got the [
D
] pig locked up in the pen
But you^?re [
E
] in big trouble with me, yes, you
If you [
A
] ever do that [
A7
] again
Ten [
D
] bucks a week [
D7
] protection
don^?t [
G
]mean I can^?t knock you [
E
] down
You got to [
D
] treat me [
D
/c#] like a [
D
/b] livin^? [
D
] saint, Lou
[
G
] Whenever my [
G
/f#]son^?s [
D
] around
[
D
]   [
G
]   [
D
]   [
G
]

Yeah, the [
D
] kid wants to be a [
G
] policeman, [
D
] just like [
G
] me
You [
D
] know he^?ll be a [
G
] good one,
the [
A
] way I started out to [
A7
] be
And he [
D
] just might end up [
G
] police chief,
Now [
D
 ]wouldn^?t that be something to [
G
] see
^?Cause then the [
A
] kid would kick right-[
C
] off the force
All the [
F
] two-bit [
C
] grifters like [
G
] me  (chorus)

I guess it [
D
] was when my [
G
] old lady left me and
She [
D
] took off with a saleman [
G
] guy
I [
D
] started to see things [
G
] differently,
cut your [
A
] own slice outta the [
A7
] pie
Yeah, I [
D
] grew up and it came [
G
] clear to me,
all the [
D
] smart cops on the [
G
] make
You get a [
A
] silver badge not an [
C
] old tin star
[
F
] when you^?re [
C
] on the [
G
] take

[
G
] It^?s pimps and whores, punk gang wars,
[
D
] Robberies and homicides [
Bm
]
When you [
E
] walk the beat with the creeps on the street
Well, there [
A
] ain^?t no where to [
A7
] hide
I spent [
D
] half my life [
D7
] without no wife
Ridin^? [
G
] heard on the scum of the [
E
] earth
I learned the [
D
] tricks of
the [
D
/c#] trade from the [
D
/b] gutter [
D
] parade
And then I [
G
] prayed for [
G
/f#] all I^?m [
D
] worth
[
D
]   [
G
]   [
D
]   [
G
]

Don^?t you [
D
] know I appreciate the [
G
] money Lou,
[
D
] Cause it all goes into the [
G
] bank
And when I [
D
] send my kid to [
G
] college some day
He^?ll have [
A
] guys like you to [
A7
] thank
Yeah, [
D
] ten bucks a week on your [
G
] grocery store
Means you [
D
] don^?t have to worry ^?bout [
G
] crime
But [
A
] hold your money when the [
C
] kids with me,
You can [
F
] pay me [
C
] double next [
G
] time  (chorus)

Enjoy all.
