Jail Bait Chords by George Thorogood & The Destroyers

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _
_ [D] I'm running, [F] _ [D] yes before it's too late, [F] _ [D] trying to get away [F] from [D] that jailbait. _
[F] [G] It's [Gm] a rough temptation, _ but a common invitation [F] and [D] a good association, [F] [D] but a quick elimination _
that will take you out of circulation.
_ Yes, I'm talking about that younger [F] generation.
[D] So take my advice, fellas.
[F] _ [G] [Gm] For goodness sakes, _
_ [D] 15, 16, 17, that's jailbait.
_ Now they swear they're in love, [F] [D] that you and her and the stars up [F] above.
[D] And she's looking mighty good, [F] _ [Gm] like a young girl should.
[F] _ [D] We try to tell you no, [F] [D] and let that young girl go.
[F] _ [D] But you know it all.
[F] [D] You have yourself a ball. _
[F] [Gm] And now it's too late.
As you look from cell number eight, [F] [D] I try to tell you, mate, _ [F] _ [D] _ _ _
[F] _ [Gm] 17 and a half is still jailbait.
_ [D] _ _ [F] So [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ tomorrow is the date for the trial of jailbait.
[Dm] [D] Now you just wait and see.
_ [Dm] [D] The young girl goes free. _
[F] _ [Gm] And you'll get one to three. _ _ _ _
[F] [D] So out the door she walks, [F] [D] to another man's talks.
[F] [D] And before you can count, _ [F] _ [D] from one to eight, [F] _ [F#] [D] another man's in for jailbait.
_ Please, Mr.
Judge, _ please let me go. _
This time I won't mess with them young girls no more.
I swear on the Bible. _
[Dm] [Gm] No more, Mr.
Judge.
_ The judge ain't going to bother no 15.
[F] _ [D] Ain't going to bother no [Dm] 16.
_ [D] Ain't going to mess with no [F] 17.
_ [Gm] I don't need no 20-year-old alone, too.
I'm going to get me a chick about 42.
[A#] _ [D] If you just believe what I said, and let me go, Mr.
Judge.
[Dm] _
[D] Please, Mr.
Judge.
_ I ain't going to bother [Dm] no [D] more young girls.
Thank [F] you.
