Larry Norman - Watch What You're Doing - [Lyrics] chords
Start Jamming...
[E] [G] [E]
Mama killed a chicken, she thought it was a duck, she put it on the table with his [Em] legs sticking [E] up.
Papa broke his glasses when he fell down drunk, tried to drown the kitty cat, turned out to
be a skunk.
You gotta watch what you're doing, [A] didn't you know?
[B] Yeah, you gotta watch [E] where you're going, didn't you know?
[D] [E] Little Joe Billy went fishing for trout, played hooky from school till the cops found out.
Didn't have a father, a weapon or a child, his mama never beat him, though he grew up wild.
You gotta watch what you're doing, yeah.
[G] [E] I know a girl, sweet as could be, she fell for a man like a chainsaw tree.
She listened to his lies, fooled by his charms, now she's sitting with a baby in her arms.
You gotta watch what you're doing, [Em]
[A] didn't you know?
You gotta [E] watch what you're doing, you oughta know that.
[Em] You [A] gotta watch out.
Watch out!
[G] [F#]
[B] Well, [A] [G]
[E]
everything's fine till things get bad.
You sit around thinking about the good times you had, but it ain't no good to lead a life of sin.
If you don't shape up, you know you'll never get it.
You better watch what you're doing, [A] don't you know?

[E] You gotta watch who you [G] know.
[E] Yeah, some folks say [A] that good lord [E] says that it doesn't [Em] exist that's inside your [Em] head.
I wonder how many gonna be [G] surprised when you look straight up and see him coming through the skies.
You [E] gotta watch what you're doing, [A] don't you know?
