Officer Norris ~ Blaze Foley
from "Live at the Austin Outhouse"


Capo IV


G+G                    G7G7
Dear Officer Norris is that really your name?
C majorC
Why do all you police men all look just the same?
     D7D7
With your big heavy pistols and your bullets galore

I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
G+G                      G7G7
You read us our rights but you read them too fast
C majorC
Officer Norris would you please kiss my ass
G+G        D7D7
Officer Norris, Officer Norris
C7C7        G+G
Get down on your knees

G+G                        G7G7
Oh, ease out, we'll ease out, we shouldn't have tried
C majorC
Go down to Columbus, Georgia, we was so fried
    D7D7
And the police they get you if you look strange at night

If you're wearing polyester double-knit you're alright
    G+G                 G7G7
But we only had blue jeans; our eyes was red
C majorC
Said they knew that we was awful; all the good folks was in bed
  G+G         D7D7
But what do they know? What do they know?
C7C7          G+G
They don't know everything


G+G                    G7G7
No sheets on the bed, just a blanket of blue
C majorC
If I was your mama I'd run out on you
   D7D7
Were you in Korea and Vietnam, too?

Or did you learn in college like the young police do?
      G+G                   G7G7
You learned how to use handcuffs and time your own breaks
    C majorC
Gettin' free cups of coffee, free coffee cakes
   D7D7
From middle-aged women that's already married

Middle-aged womens that's already married


G+G                 G7G7
Officer Norris is that really your name?
C majorC
Why do all you police men all look just the same?
     D7D7
With your big heavy pistols and your bullets galore

I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
G+G                      G7G7
You read us our rights but you read them too fast
C majorC
Officer Norris would you please kiss my ass
G+G        D7D7
Officer Norris, Officer Norris
C7C7        G+G
Get down on your knees
