Beware - Louis Jordan Chords

[Dm] _ _ _ Now, [D] fellas, just you fellas, listen to me.
I've got something to tell you.
I want you to listen to every word and govern yourself [Gm] accordingly.
Now, pay attention.
[F] You see [D] these girls with these fine diamonds and [Gm] fox furs and fine [Dm] clothes?
Well, Jack, they're looking for a husband.
[D] And you're [Gm] listening to a man that knows.
[F] _
They ain't [D] fooling.
And if you fool around [Dm] with them, you're going to get yourself a schooler.
If she saves your dough and won't go to a show, [E] beware, brother.
[Cm] Beware.
[D] And if she's easy to kiss and never resists, be careful.
Beware, brother. [Dm] Beware.
And [Gm] if you go for a walk and she just listens while you [Cm] talk, she's trying to hook you.
And if nobody's [Dm] looking and she asks you to taste her cooking, don't [A] do it.
Don't do it.
And if [G] you go to a show and [D] she wants to sit in the back row, [Gm] bring her down front.
Down [Bb] front.
And if you go for a [Dm] snack and she wants a boot in the back, watch her.
[Ab] She's trying to hook you.
And [Dm] listen, if she's used to caviar and fine silk, and when she goes out with you,
she wants a hot [D] dog and a malted milk.
She's been used to going to Carnegie [Dm] Hall, and when you take out nightclub
and she wants [G] to hear one meatball.
[Gm] If she grabs [A] your hand and says, darling, you're such a nice man, beware.
[D] I'm telling you.
Listen to [C] me.
You think he's listening to me?
[Ab] You better listen to me.
I'm telling you what's being put out.
You better pick up on it.
Now listen to this.
If a sister [Gm] calls you brother, you better get further.
I'm telling you.
You [Fm] better hit her.
[F] And if she's kind of wild and she said, [Bb] darling, [F] please give me a trial, don't do it.
[Gm] [Cm] Don't be weak.
Don't give it to her.
[D] If she looks up [Cm] in your [Bb] face and just melts into [Cm] place, let her melt.
Forget it.
[Bb] You think he's paying attention to her?
Should I ask him [F] about it?
[Gm] Should I [F] tell him everything?
Okay, I'll tell him.
Listen, if [E] she calls you [A] on the phone and she says, [D] darling, are you all [A] alone?
You better know it.
You got three girls with you.
Don't pay no attention to women.
Stand up for your rights.
[E] _ [Cm] You're a man.
That's right.
Should I tell him about it?
[F] Well, listen, this is very [A] important.
If you turn out the light and she don't fight, [D] that's all.
That's all.
That's the end.
[F] It's too late then.
She got you hooked.
_ [D] You just better stick with her.
Put down that racing farm and pay attention [Gm] to me.
[Dm] Now listen, if you get home about two and you don't know what to do and you pull back
the curtain and the [D] whole family's looking at you, get your business straight and set
[Bb] the date and don't be late.
[Db] So [G] brother, beware.
[Dm] _ _ [Bm] _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ [A] [Bb] Beware.
[E] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [Dm] Beware. _
Beware.
[Bb] Beware.
