[D] Twenty [G] six dollars in [D] my hand
[G]
[D] She's not [Gb] changed
Once you find

Dipping in the [D] line

Hey white boy

Hey white boy

[Gb] It's the last thing on my mind
[G] I'm just looking [Bb] for
A very good friend of [D] mine
[G] Waiting for [D] the [G] man
Waiting for [D] the man

My [Eb]
[D] mouth's on [G] filly
I'm three flights [D] of stairs
[G]
[Em] [D] Nobody's got to
[G] Cause no one [D] cares
[G] He's
[D] got the words
[Gb] They give you a [G] sweet taste
Then he's got a [Bb] smitty smile
From that embrace [D] I see right
[G] Waiting for [D] the man

[D] Baby don't you holler
[G] Darling don't you smoke [D] and shout

I'm gonna work it [D] all out
