_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I've seen good men spoil,
[Ab] _ Came to their jobs like hounds.
[Eb] They work [Bb] and sleep and work again,
[G] In the darkest nights they howl.
_ [Cm] Their cries are all women,
[Ab] To everyone _ following. _
_ [Eb] [Bb] No man should stand to work all of his days
And [G] have nothing at the end of them.
_ I got [Cm] no money, [Ab] but the _ change
[Gm] Jingled in my [G] pockets
_ [Fm] Reminded me [Bb] how little [Gm] _ [Cm] I have.
_ [G] _ And that [Cm] is for _ time [Ab] I _ am
[Gm] _ _
Heartless, just [G] stop it.
She's [Fm] scrambling on [Bb] like a mad [Eb] wandering [Cm] _
man.
[G] _ _ _ _ [Gm] My [Cm] papa was a hound man,
[Ab] _ Traded in his youth.
[Cm] [Bb] He sought his dreams and all his deeds
[G] Through the great American rules.
But [Cm] my dear papa gave me
_ [Ab] _ Lessons and _ regrets.
[Gm] But all that [Bb] he'd done would be for nothing
[G] If I followed in his steps.
_ _ I got [Cm] no money, [Ab] but the _ change
[Bb] Jingled in [G] my pockets
_ [Fm] Reminded me [Gm] how little _ I [Cm] have.
_ [G] _ And that [Cm] is for time _ [Ab] I am _ _
_ [Gm] _ Heartless, [G] just stop it.
[Fm] She's scrambling on like [Gm] a mad wandering [Cm] _ man.
_ [G] _ _ _
My [Cm] papa taught me how to howl,
[Ab] How to bear my teeth and [Bb] growl.
He taught me that the hand that [G] feeds
Deserves to be bitten when it bleeds.
[Cm] He taught me how to break my chains,
Let [Ab] them _ unyield, what pain.
[Gm] And that no man should get more of my [G] time
Than _ _ me, _ than me. _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] So how can _ _
[Bb] you picture it?
That [G] I am free of [Cm] you right now?
_ [Ab] You're a bitch, man. _
[Bb] You'll never have me, never [G] have me. _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Bb] You're a bitch, man.
_ [G] _ You'll _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Bb] never have me, never have [G] me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] I got no money, _ but the [Ab] _
change
[Bb] Jingles in [Gm] my [G] pockets
_ [C] Reminded me how [Bb] little _ [Gm] I [Cm] _ _ _ [G] have.
And [Cm] that's for _ time,
[Ab] _ _ _
[Gm] That's for _ _ [G] _ time,
[Cm] It's mine, _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Gm] it's mine.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
