Guitars tuned down a half step so Eb, Bb, Gb, Db, Ab, eb, No capo.

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

Intro
F F F G
F F F G F

 F                                    
A man was bothering me today and I

 F                               
Wanted to tell him to go away

 F                                               G   
But I stood and listened to him anyway, okay.  

 F                                          
He said he didn't want to shoot that man

 F                                                
And it was his thing and I wouldn't understand
F                             G         F    
And he had done all that he can, okay.


Break (Repeat Intro chords)

 F                                      
I guess his body was as good as mine

 F                                      
And just like me he was wasting time

 F                                                           G   
Turning over every stone to see what he could find, okay.  

 F                                                
He was filling his tank and he asked for money

 F                                   
I lied and said I didn't have any

 F                                   G                          F        
Then my conscious took over and I gave him a hand full of change.


 F                   F                   
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.

 G                   F   
Stay right there.  

 F                    F                  
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there

 G           F         F      
You don't seem to care


Break (repeat intro chords)

 F                                        
I know its hard to survive in the city

 F                                              
When the beautiful days don't look so pretty

 F                                                         G  
And you don't have windows to keep the night away, okay.

 F                                              
He was dirty and stinky and just a bit crude

 F                                                   
But I didn't say that because that's kind of rude

 F                                             G                  F   
And he didn't care what I had to say in the first place, okay.


Break (repeat intro chords)

 F                                              F                                     
I wanted to say you're a big disgrace to the world, yourself, and the human race

 F                                                         G     
And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okay.

 F                                      
No its not okay and I didn't do that

       F                                        F                      G         
But I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and told him to have a very nice

                F  
Rest of the day


 F                   F                   
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.

 G                   F   
Stay right there.  

 F                    F                  
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there

 G           F         F      
You don't seem to care


Break for solos (intro chords)

 F                                    
Guess he bought some booze or shit

     F                                       F                                    
And sure that bothers me a little bit but it's his life and I can't tell him

               G  
How to live it

       F                                    F                                     
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 play A,Bb,B,C, listen to the song for it.

 F                   F                   
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.

 G                   F   
Stay right there.  

 F                    F                  
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there

 G           F         F      
You don't seem to care

 F                   F                  
You'll die there, you'll die there

 G           F         F      
You don't seem to care
