[Gm] Well, I'm a lucky tiger, wood you [Ab] wax, crack attack, shoes shine, time break, [N] a magazine
[Gm] wax.
[Ab]
Well, [Gm] hang around [D] the barber shop [G] beside a burning clothesline, good morning, Mr.
Ferguson.
[C] What's the good word, wood you, [G] staying out of trouble like [Gb] a good boss.
[G]
[Bb] [G] Are these steel curtain hair, steel curtain glasses, got a couple of passes to [Eb] the ring
brush, [Db] probably a crazy sucker's afternoon.
[Eb] [G] You lost a little round the middle, you're looking real good, sitting on the [Ab] wagon, [G] sitting [Bb] under.
[G] Slow
[Cm] down, Mr.
[G] Brown, [Ab] I heard your [G] boy's leaving [Am] town, [Gm] I bought myself a struggle [G] mug, a sucker's
pile of blues.

skirts are getting [Ab] shorter.
[F] [Em] [Ebm]
[D] [Fm] I know that you can get a [E] cheaper haircut [A] if you want to [D] cross the border, [G] your mama's
always smoking bets to kick your ass.
[F]
[Ab] I know you put it [A] out at June, [G] I'll put it out fast.
Well, if I had a million [A] dollars, [B] what would I [G] do?
Probably be [Gb] a barber, not [Gm] a bum like you.
[G] Still got your paper on, that's just fine.
[Gm] You [G] can pay me double, cause you chipped me last [Gm] time.
[Ab] [Bb]
I see [Gm] [Bb] you.
[Gm] I want [D] [G]
to know that you can keep a little sucker's money, spend it on a girl.
And just remember that I give a pass for haircuts, you know I [Bb] would.

Good morning, Mrs.
