Cops And Robbers (Blues In Rhythm - 1964) / The Rolling Stones chords
Start Jamming...
[A] [E]
As I was [A] driving [E] home, along the boulevard late one night, I saw a guy in the corner, bumming all alone.
As I passed him by, I heard him holler out,
Hey!
I slowed down to see what he [A] said.
[E] He said, uh, by any chance, have you gone my way?
I said, sure baby, hop [A] on in [E] and give me a cigarette.
Then he reached out in his pocket, and that was the moment I regretted.
Well now [A] boy, me, those guys, y'all said [Em] I don't [E] understand, so
Don't [B] you try no monkey business, [A] I got a soft friend, [E] my [B] ass.
[E] And then he said, you see this rock on my hand?
This is a 38' load on a 45' frame.
It's just jumpstart for us out of Paul and James.
[A] [Em] I ain't trying to shake you up, but [E] I just want you to know,
If the cops decide to fire me, you're going to be the first to go.
So you just drive on like the other time, and you sit with me, and we look back on nothing.
And he said, when you get into that red light, I want y'all to jump back to your left and then switch back to your right.
He said, uh, I want you to park in the alley.
Now that went over there, put it behind the liquor store.
Now keep a sharp look at it all the [A] time, when I was sneaking in that back door, that's [E] what he told me.
[A] He said, keep your foot on the [E] gas, I know it'll be on [A] guard.
[E] Cause when I come around to the liquor store, all that money, one beat of mash on it, it's real hard.
He said, [A] now, [E] don't you come out of [Em] there, try me a double [E] pose.
He posed, and smirked when the heat's on.
Well now, [A] boy, we're close.
[Em] Yeah, but I said, I'm a dancer.
[B] Don't you try no monkey business, [E] I got a cypher in my hand.
[B] [A] [C]
[A] [B] Well I was [A] [E] sitting there, [A] [E] just trembling.
A spotlight hit me, dead in the face.
[A] [E] The customer behind us [A] said, [E] move up a bit man, we want to take your place.
And then the guy come running [A] out of the store with [E] the money, he said, oh, there you are.
He made a mistake in the dark, and ran leads in the [A] police [E] car.
As they put the [A] handcuffs on him, [E] I said, child, your crime, a side throw him.
[A] [E] And they said, Jeff, we're going to put him so far back in jail this time, [A] [E] that they're going to have to pump air into him.
Well now, [A] [E] yeah, [A] but I said, I don't understand.
Don't you [B] try no monkey business, [A] [Em] I got a cypher in my [D] hand.
[E]
