[F] Now this is one where also there's a lot of sort [E] of audience participation.
It's been folk music.
I've played this old folk song and you all sing on the chorus, alright?
So I'll see you at the chorus.
Here we go then.
Get them lights up!
Yeah!
[F]
I'm shaking my knees and I'm a [C] beast of a man, shaking to and a' [D] that I'm from.
[E] [Bb] People ask me when I [F] got to be a man, but all [C] the girls I loved in [Bb] school are rich and [F] wise.
I loved you then as I love you [C] still, but I put you on a bet he [D] still ain't put you on the [Em] pill.
[Bb] Don't feel [E] bad [F] about letting you [C]
go, but you should be sad [Bb] about letting him know.

[Bb] Can't survive [E] on [F] what you said, [C] every time [Bb] you need a [F] friend.
I sought to shoot you, but last last night [C] I reached on them.
[Gm] [Bb] Don't you [E] wish [F] your spice on [C] me, I wish, I wish, [Bb] I wish you'd care.
Don't let him have all the fun down here.
