Now let me just assure you that [B] I'm not a drinking man.
I work hard to [E] uphold the law.
[F#] Those people in that other car were their friends of my ex-wife's.
No matter what they [D] told you, [B] they saw.

[C#] It might have been tequila, [F#] I don't know.
I [B] stepped into the woods for midnight prayer.

[E] [F#] Now [B] conscientious peacekeepers such as yourself must surely recognize an [E] honest guy.
