[Gm] [Dm]
[G] [Dm]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[G] Share a few of the pluses he's gotten [D] to before he bridges with [G] the smoke reviews and movie [D] deals
[G] Barrens, Carlisle, [D] making public appearances, [Bb] breaking up our [F] homes and schools
I [G] know he likes to brag [D] how he wrestled a bear, [G] but I'm near him from the [Dm] funeral home
[Gm] Asking for a warrant, he'll [D] say, I keep it in my shoe
[F] That [Bb] son of a bitch has [F] gotta go
[Bb] That son of a bitch has [F] gotta go
[G] [Dm]
[G] [D]
[Gm] [Dm]
[Bb] [F]
[G] Now they're lined up around, [Dm] like to see that movie
[G] And crying for his [D] ambushed wife
[G] Marvelling about, [D] shot eight times, stabbed seven
[Bb] Some folks can't [F] take a he-half
They [G] say, didn't take no [Dm] crap from the straight line gang
[G] Well what the hell they [Dm] talking about?
[G] I'm just a hard working man [Dm] with family to [Bb] feed
And made my [F] daughter cry
[Bb] She made my [F] daughter cry
[Bb] Watch [F] [C] out, you birds, what [F] they keep [Fm] on [F] telling them
But [Bb] the man's just another [C] crooked [F] lawman from Tennessee
He's [Bb] got a hot new car, [C] and he goes on our toes
[Dm] That ridiculous state of [Bb] the press board
And some good time I would [C] act, he's playing [F] them on the fish plane
[Bb] Watch [C] out for you birds, he's [F] shutting down our steals and whores
[Bb] It ain't like he's all [C] that different from what [F] was there before
It [Bb] wouldn't take my man long [C] to do the [Dm] job
Just a partial and soft first [Bb] year nod
And I wouldn't have to [C] worry about the good sheriff [F] anymore
Now [G]
[Dm] [G]
[Dm] [G]
[D] [Bb]
[F] [G] the funeral's got him lined [D] up for twenty blocks
[G] No one like that [Dm] SOB when he's alive
But [Gm] the roughest he [Dm] can keep [D] spreading like a [Bb] wildfire
Not sure if I'm [F] gonna survive
It [G] ain't a thing but doing [C] 120 [D] on a straightaway
[Dm] The [G] more it works in mysterious [Dm] ways
I'll [G] probably make another [Dm] move before I find what he done
But [Bb] I'll never have to hear [F] them say
[Gm] Watch [G] out [D] for you birds
[G] [Dm]
[G] Watch [Dm] out for you birds
[Bb] [F] [Bb] [F]
