I'm gonna do this song.
This is a song I wrote about myself, but looking at [E] some of y'all, I might have wrote it about you too.
I was so ugly, the doctor slapped my mama when I was born.
Then he took out his pocket knife and cut off my horn.
Said, lady, if you ain't already picked out a name, go ahead on and call him Trouble Man.
He's gonna [B] be wild, I'm giving [A] you warning.
He's gotta [G] have room to [F#] keep [E] an eye on him.
I grew up with long and lean and hungry looks.
Learned you can't go nowhere when you go by the book.
People all around me, earthbound, I learned how to fly.
Upside, downside, outside, sailing on by.
Out of my [B] reach, out of [A] my hand, out of [G] control, [F#] Trouble [E] Man.
I've been as far in all directions as you can get.
I ain't never had enough of anything yet.
I've had women that tore me apart without any reason.
I say, baby, I don't [B] get mad, I just [E] get even.
I [B] don't explain if you don't [A] understand.
I'm my [G] own man, [F#] [E] Trouble Man, Trouble Man.
[F#] [E]
[Em] [Am]
