	D	G
If you were	looking for a way to	get me mad

	D	G
It was a	sure fire way you	found

	D	G	A	A7
	Acting like a	half-wit fool,	laying your money

around

	D	G
Well, I	came back to	tell you Lou,

	D	G
^?bout	what you almost	did

	A	C
Don^?t you	ever put the cash on the	counter, Lou,

	F	C	G
	when I^?m	with my	kid

	D	G
Yeah, the	kid^?s 13, he^?s	growin^? Lou, two years

	D	G
And	he^?ll be bigger than	me

	D	G
Still he	think^?s I^?m strong as a	blacksmith and

	A	A7
	straighter than the tall oak	tree

	D	G
I	raised him alone ten	years now,

	D	G
since his	momma ran	away

	A	C
Well, you	ain^?t gonna blow his	image of me

	F	C	G
With a	stunt like you	pulled	today

chorus

	G
	They took the copper right outta the penny, Lou

	D
They got the	pig locked up in the pen

	E
But you^?re	in big trouble with me, yes, you

	A	A7
If you	ever do that	again

	D	D7
Ten	bucks a week	protection

	G	E
don^?t	mean I can^?t knock you	down

	D	D/c#	D/b	D
You got to	treat me	like a	livin^?	saint, Lou

	G	G/f#	D
	Whenever my	son^?s	around

	D	G	D	G
Yeah, the	kid wants to be a	policeman,	just like	me

	D	G
You	know he^?ll be a	good one,

	A	A7
the	way I started out to	be

	D	G
And he	just might end up	police chief,

	D	G
Now	wouldn^?t that be something to	see

	A	C
^?Cause then the	kid would kick right-	off the force

	F	C	G
All the	two-bit	grifters like	me (chorus)

	D	G
I guess it	was when my	old lady left me and

	D	G
She	took off with a saleman	guy

	D	G
I	started to see things	differently,

	A	A7
cut your	own slice outta the	pie

	D	G
Yeah, I	grew up and it came	clear to me,

	D	G
all the	smart cops on the	make

	A	C
You get a	silver badge not an	old tin star

	F	C	G
	when you^?re	on the	take

	G
	It^?s pimps and whores, punk gang wars,

	D	Bm
	Robberies and homicides

	E
When you	walk the beat with the creeps on the street

	A	A7
Well, there	ain^?t no where to	hide

	D	D7
I spent	half my life	without no wife

	G	E
Ridin^?	heard on the scum of the	earth

	D
I learned the	tricks of

	D/c#	D/b	D
the	trade from the	gutter	parade

	G	G/f#	D
And then I	prayed for	all I^?m	worth

	D	G
Don^?t you	know I appreciate the	money Lou,

	D	G
	Cause it all goes into the	bank

	D	G
And when I	send my kid to	college some day

	A	A7
He^?ll have	guys like you to	thank

	D	G
Yeah,	ten bucks a week on your	grocery store

	D	G
Means you	don^?t have to worry ^?bout	crime

	A	C
But	hold your money when the	kids with me,

	F	C	G
You can	pay me	double next	time (chorus)

Enjoy all.
