Tuning: Down a whole step, D MajorD tuning



  G+G      D MajorD    A augmentedA     B minorBm
I went to the subway to play my guitar
     G+G     D MajorD     A augmentedA     B minorBm
with the Chicago police I didn't get very far
    G+G    D MajorD   A augmentedA     B minorBm
See, in my left pocket i had a bag
   G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm   A augmentedA
and nobody liked it when i offered a drag, i said

B minorBm         A augmentedA
"Come on boys, you know you all do it!"
     G+G                     G+G  A augmentedA
But the look on their face said, "Man, you just blew it!"
   B minorBm               A augmentedA
They took me to the station, took my photograph
   G+G       D/F#D/F#    G+G     A augmentedA
And if you ever see it, I'll bet you'll laugh

       G+G  D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
They call me "Dion 46501"
    G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm
Just a free-wheeling, life-loving son of a gun
G+G     D MajorD        A augmentedA    B minorBm
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
       G+G  D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
I'm singing, "Dion 46501"

  G+G      D MajorD       A augmentedA     B minorBm
Now back at the station they gave me a cell
     G+G      D MajorD       A augmentedA      B minorBm
it was stinky, it was junky, it was ugly, it was cold as...
G+G    D MajorD     A augmentedA    B minorBm
"Hello, neighbors, HOWDLEE DOO!
       G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA     B minorBm A augmentedA
Why does the City of Chicago have a beef with you?"

B minorBm        A augmentedA
One man said, "I mugged an old lady"
 G+G                     G+G A augmentedA
Another man said, "I Ain't killed nobody lately"
 B minorBm                    A augmentedA
Another man said, "I'm the devil and I'll steal your soul"
     G+G     D/F#D/F#     G+G    A augmentedA
I said, "I'm a musician playing rock and roll"

       G+G  D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
They call me "Dion 46501"
    G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm
Just a free-wheeling, life-loving son of a gun
G+G     D MajorD        A augmentedA    B minorBm
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
       G+G  D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
I'm singing, "Dion 46501"

 G+G D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm

B minorBm      A augmentedA
Late nights, early beers
G+G          G+G A augmentedA
I play, people cheer
B minorBm     A augmentedA
I just do what i do
  G+G    D/F#D/F#     G+G     A augmentedA
and i don't think that i'm bothering you

      G+G   D MajorD      A augmentedA      B minorBm
Well they let me out about a quarter to four
        G+G       D MajorD         A augmentedA        B minorBm
they said, "Now keep this up, Dion, and we'll be seeing you some more!"
G+G      D MajorD    A augmentedA   B minorBm
On the way home I lost me way
   G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA    B minorBm A augmentedA
The city was coming on the break of day

B minorBm            A augmentedA
All the people looked at me with a sneer
     G+G                G+G A augmentedA
They said, "What the hell is he doing here?"
B minorBm            A augmentedA
I hopped a bus about a quarter to five
    G+G     D/F#D/F#    G+G    A augmentedA
And I said to myself, "Thank God i'm alive!'

     G+G  D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
Singing "Dion 46501"
    G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm
Just a free-wheeling, life-loving son of a gun
G+G     D MajorD        A augmentedA    B minorBm
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
       G+G  D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
I'm singing, "Dion 46501"

Closing: G+G D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
