VERSE:
G+G        G7G7
I'm a guy that likes his fun
   C majorC          C minorCm
And when I fight, you'd better run
    G+G      D MajorD       G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
G+G          G7G7
I'm goin' down in a middle of town
   C majorC         C minorCm
I'm goin' to shoot the first man down
    G+G      D MajorD       G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


BREAK:
   C majorC               G+G
My skin is hard as leather I'm as tough as any man
 A augmentedA               D MajorD
When I have to shave myself, I use an old tin can


VERSE:
  G+G        G7G7        C majorC        C minorCm
I wash my face in boilin' wax and scrub myself with gunny sacks
    G+G      D MajorD       G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

CHORUS:
   C majorC           G+G
I'm mean - I'm mean - I'm mean
    D MajorD             G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
 G+G           G7G7
Well, I was raised on tiger's milk
  C majorC           C minorCm
I drink corn liquor and I smoke corn silk
    G+G      D MajorD       G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
G+G          G7G7
I chew up tin and I spit out nails
 C majorC         C minorCm
Sleep on snakes with ten-foot tails
    G+G      D MajorD       G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


BREAK:
  C majorC
I started feelin' frisky
    G+G
And I danced the other night
  A augmentedA                D MajorD
I felt so good, I took my gun and shot out ev'ry light


VERSE:
     G+G        G7G7
Now the Sheriff said, get out off town
 C majorC        C minorCm
Take him six feet under ground
    G+G      D MajorD       G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


CHORUS:
   C majorC           G+G
I'm mean - I'm mean - I'm mean
    D MajorD            G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
G+G             G7G7
I throwed my saddle on a grizzly bear
     C majorC             C minorCm
Then I crawled bare-handed in his mountain lair
    G+G      D MajorD       G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
G+G          G7G7
I cut my hair on a choppin' block
   C majorC          C minorCm
And when I chopped, the mountains rocked
    G+G      D MajorD       G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


BREAK:
  C majorC                G+G
I tangled with a wild cat, just to prove that I was stout
     A augmentedA
Reached down his throat and grabbed his tail,
    D MajorD
Then turned him inside out


VERSE:
   G+G         G7G7
Where I was raised, it's so darn tough
  C majorC        C minorCm
I had to leave, it got so rough
    G+G      D MajorD       G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


CHORUS:
   C majorC           G+G
I'm mean - I'm mean - I'm mean
    D MajorD            G+G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
