Careful Man

Jim Croce

 EE7
 I don't gamble, I don't fight,   
 AF#7
 I don't be hangin' in the bars at night; 
 EC#7F#7B7E
Yeah, I used to be a fighter, but now I am a wiser man      
 EE7
 I don't drink, much, I don't smoke,
 AF#7
 I don't hardly mess around with no dope;      
 EC#7F#7B7EE7
Yeah, I used to be a problem, but now I am a careful man                 

(Chorus)
 A
But if you used to wanna see a commotion,
 E
You should've seen the man that I used to be;
 A
I was trouble in perpetual motion,
 F#7B7
 Trouble with a capital “T”      
 EE7
Stayin' out late, havin' fun,   
 AF#7
And shot off every single shot in my gun;      
 EC#7F#7B7E
Yeah, I used to be a lover but now I am an older man     

(2nd end for chorus)
Yeah, I used to be a terror, but now I am a tired man

I didn't tab out the intro, but I'll work on it. This is a fun blues to play with that
Croce irony. --Best, Mo Love
