Didn't have the money round to buy a Murray towel
[F] Been around and seen a [C] lot to shake [G] me anyhow
Begged and borrowed, sometimes I admit I even stole
[F] But worst crime that I ever [C] did was playing [G] rock and roll
[D] Like a man is no good, [F]
just [G] get a grip on yourself
[D] Like a man is no good, [F]
just get [G] a grip on yourself
Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
[F] The air in here is pretty [C] thick, I think I'll go [G]
outside
Committed far insanity and crimes against the soul
[F] The worst crime that I ever did [C] was playing [G] rock and roll
[D] Like a man is no good, [F]
just get [G] a grip on yourself
Like [D] a man is no good, [F]
