Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Half-Step Down

Difficulty: Novice

No capo.

There seems to be a rhythm part over the chorus that's got a reggae feel, upstroke on
every offbeat.

Intro
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G

G+G
A augmentedA man was bothering me today and I
C majorC
wanted to tell him to go away
G+G                       D MajorD
But I stood and listened to him anyway, okay.
G+G
He said he didn't want to shoot that man
C majorC
And it was his thing and I wouldn't understand
G+G              D MajorD    G+G
And he had done all that he can, okay.

Break (Repeat Intro chords)

G+G
I guess his body was as good as mine
C majorC
And just like me he was wasting time
G+G                             D MajorD
Turning over every stone to see what he could find, okay.
G+G
He was filling his tank and he asked for money
C majorC
I lied and said I didn't have any
G+G                 D MajorD            G+G
Then my conscious took over and I gave him a hand full of change.

C majorC         G+G
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
D MajorD         G+G
Stay right there.
C majorC         G+G
You'll lie there. You'll lie there
D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
You don't seem to care

Break (repeat intro chords)

G+G
I know its hard to survive in the city
C majorC
When the beautiful days don't look so pretty
G+G                            D MajorD
And you don't have windows to keep the night away, okay.
G+G
He was dirty and stinky and just a bit crude
C majorC
But I didn't say that because that's kind of rude
G+G                      D MajorD        G+G
And he didn't care what I had to say in the first place, okay.

Break (repeat intro chords)

G+G                      C majorC
I wanted to say you're a big disgrace to the world, yourself, and the human race
G+G                            D MajorD
And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okay.
G+G
No its not okay and I didn't do that
   C majorC                   G+G          D MajorD
But I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and told him to have a very nice
        G+G
rest of the day

C majorC         G+G
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
D MajorD         G+G
Stay right there.
C majorC         G+G
You'll lie there. You'll lie there
D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
You don't seem to care

Break for solos (intro chords)

G+G
Guess he bought some booze or shit
  C majorC                   G+G
And sure that bothers me a little bit but it's his life and I can't tell him
       D MajorD
how to live it
   G+G                 C majorC
As he turned and started to go his way I tried to think of something wise to
  (Stop playing for a pause)
say like...

Just on the bass notes leading up to the C majorC play A,Bb,B,C, listen to the song for it.

C majorC         G+G
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
D MajorD         G+G
Stay right there.
C majorC         G+G
You'll lie there. You'll lie there
D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
You don't seem to care
C majorC         G+G
You'll die there, you'll die there
D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
You don't seem to care
