_ If I were you, _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] then I would [G] gladly loan to [C] me a dollar or two so I could eat.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ You and me could get [G] just one good [C] night of sleep, _ _ _ _ _ but I'm not.
_ _ _ [D] And I'm stranded [G] like a castaway in [C] this town, _ _ _ _ _ _ and you seem so [G] unwilling to [C] help a fellow when he's down. _
_ _ _ If I were you, _ [G] _ _
that's what [C] I'd do. _ _ _
_ If I were you, _ _ _ I [G] wouldn't be out on these streets the whole [C] night through.
_ Yeah, _ I'd [G] have a job _ _ _ _ and a pretty _ wife that I could come [C] home to, _ _ _ _ but I don't. _
_ _ _ _ And I have twenty cents left to my [C] name, _ _ _ _ _ [G] and you're the only one left here that I have to blame. _
[C] _ _ If I were you, _ _ [G] _ that's what [C] I'd do. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Sir, it's not my way [G] to take from you [C] things I haven't earned.
_ [F] I wish I could [B] go back and heed [F]
the lessons I [C] have learned, _ _ _ _ but I can't. _ _ _ _
So [F] you'll gladly put [G] your money in [C] this sack.
_ _ _ _ _
[F] Yes, sir, this [G] thing is loaded, and [C] I have the hammer back. _ _ _
If I were you, _ _
_ [G] that's what I'd do.
_ _ _ [F] If I were you, _ _ _ [G]
that's what I'd do. _ _
