Start Jamming...
[Am] I know a cat by the name of Maurice, he's all [A] the time running from the police.
[Am] Every time you see him up to some old [A] dirty trick and he's got the nerve to think he's
slick but he [D] ain't.
He messes up every [A] time.
Oh, [E] to tell you the truth, [D] the dude can't even do wrong, [A] right?
And Maurice [Am] took the notion to rip off the house down the street.
Heard they had [A] a whole lot of real good weed.
He snuck around back and made it in [A] the house okay and he located the stash and he rolled
up the J.
He got high and hungry, wanted something to eat, went in the kitchen and ate up every
damn thing he could see.
But the man between the food and the weed sat down on the couch and he went to sleep.
He got [D] drunk in the middle [A] of the night.
[Em] Oh, ain't it a shame?
[D] The dude can't [F#m] even do [A] wrong, right?
Got him a new car, went out to celebrate.
Got hung up at the bar and started running late.
Jumped back in his ride and hit the highway.
Started to roll.
He said, 100 miles an hour.
Woo, look at me go.
Thought he had everything under control.
I'm talking highway control.
He [D] got caught in the middle [A] of the night.
[E] Oh, Lord have mercy.
[D] You can't even do [A] wrong, right?
No.
Oh,

Maurice was a dog going to try and cheat on his wife.
He said, I believe I'll give me a little something on the side.
Found him [E] a woman way across town.
He [A] said, I'll be real cool this time and keep it on the low down.
Thought he had her food.
He was doing all right.
What goes on in the dark will [F#] surely come to light.
He [D] got caught in the middle [A] of the night.
[E] Oh, what did I tell you?
