Watch Out for Lucy Eric Clapton

[A] [C#7] [F#m] [D]

[A] [E7] [A] [E7]

Now [A] my friend Bill was just a [D] working lad

And he [C#] liked to have his [D] fun.

He'd like to [A] find a girl and get [E] comfortable

When his [D] working day was [E7] done.

He would [F#m] spend all his money on a [C#7] Friday night,

[D] Wake up in the morning [A] broke,

But he [F#m] had a run in with little [C#7] Lucy then;

Be[D]lieve me that ain't no [E7] joke.

[A] Watch [C#7] out for [F#m] Lucy, [D]

[A] Though she [C#7] may look [F#m] frail. [D]

Said, "Ex[A]cuse me, [C#7] Lucy,

[F#m] Darling don't you [D] use me;

[A] I don't want to [E7] land in [A] jail."

[A] [C#7] [F#m] [D]

[A] [E7] [A] [E7]

She [A] started out working in a [D] cafe,

Picking [C#] money up on the [D] side.

She was [A] free and easy, [E] everybody's friend,

But she [D] couldn't be satis[E7]fied.

So now [F#m] in walks Bill with his [C#7] cash in his hand,

His [D] heart upon his [A] sleeve.

We [F#m] tried to warn him a[C#7]bout her ways,

We [D] never did suc[E7]ceed.

Chorus

[A] [C#7] [F#m] [D]

[A] [E7] [A] [E7]

Well, the [A] trap was sprung for [D] poor old Bill;

You should have [C#] heard little Lucy [D] sing

"I want a [A] Cadillac car, a [E] beautiful home,

And a [D] thousand dollar [E7] ring."

They [F#m] found our hero in the [C#7] gutter

With a [D] diamond ring and a [A] gun.

He'd [F#m] done it for the love of [C#7] Lucy

And [D] ended up on the [E7] run.

 Now&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;my&nbsp;friend&nbsp;Bill&nbsp;was&nbsp;just&nbsp;a&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;working&nbsp;lad

 He&nbsp;would&nbsp;[F#m]&nbsp;spend&nbsp;all&nbsp;his&nbsp;money&nbsp;on&nbsp;a&nbsp;[C#7]&nbsp;Friday&nbsp;night, 
 [D]&nbsp;Wake&nbsp;up&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;morning&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;broke, 
 But&nbsp;he&nbsp;[F#m]&nbsp;had&nbsp;a&nbsp;run&nbsp;in&nbsp;with&nbsp;little&nbsp;[C#7]&nbsp;Lucy&nbsp;then; 
 Be[D]lieve&nbsp;me&nbsp;that&nbsp;ain't&nbsp;no&nbsp;[E7]&nbsp;joke. 
 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;Watch&nbsp;[C#7]&nbsp;out&nbsp;for&nbsp;[F#m]&nbsp;Lucy,&nbsp;[D] 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;Though&nbsp;she&nbsp;[C#7]&nbsp;may&nbsp;look&nbsp;[F#m]&nbsp;frail.&nbsp;[D] 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;Said,&nbsp;"Ex[A]cuse&nbsp;me,&nbsp;[C#7]&nbsp;Lucy,

 So&nbsp;now&nbsp;[F#m]&nbsp;in&nbsp;walks&nbsp;Bill&nbsp;with&nbsp;his&nbsp;[C#7]&nbsp;cash&nbsp;in&nbsp;his&nbsp;hand, 
 His&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;heart&nbsp;upon&nbsp;his&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;sleeve.

 Well,&nbsp;the&nbsp;[A]&nbsp;trap&nbsp;was&nbsp;sprung&nbsp;for&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;poor&nbsp;old&nbsp;Bill; 
 You&nbsp;should&nbsp;have&nbsp;[C#]&nbsp;heard&nbsp;little&nbsp;Lucy&nbsp;[D]&nbsp;sing
