Ain't Hurtin' Nobody

From the John Prine album "Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings" ( Oh Boy Records, 1995)
Intro:
 C

 C
 I'm walkin' down the street
Like Lucky Larue
 F
Got my hand in my pocket
I'm thinkin' 'bout you
 CG
I ain't hurtin' nobody  
 C
I ain't hurtin' no one

 C
There's three hundred men
In the state of Tennessee
 F
 They're waiting to die
They won't never be free
 C
I ain't hurtin' nobody
 G
 C
I ain't hurtin' no one

 G
Six million seven hundred thousand
 FC
And thirty-three lights on
 G
 You think someone could take the time
 FC
To sit down and listen to the words of my song

 C
 At the beach in Indiana
I was nine years old
 F
 Heard Little Richard singing "Tutti Frutti"
From the top of a telephone pole
 C
I wasn't hurtin' nobody
 G
 C
I wasn't hurtin' no one 

 C
There's roosters laying chickens
And chickens layin' eggs
 F
 Farm machinery eating
People's arms and legs
 C
I ain't hurtin' nobody
 G
 C
I ain't hurtin' no one

 G
 Perfectly crafted popular hit songs never use
 FC
The wrong rhyme
 G
You'd think that waitress could get my order
 FC
Right the first time

Instrumental:
 CFCGC

 C
She's sitting on the back steps
Just shucking that corn
 F
 That gal's been grinning
Since the day she was born
 C
She ain't hurtin' nobody
 G
 C
She ain't hurtin' no one

 C
 I used to live in Chicago
Where the cold wind blows
 F
 I delivered more junk mail
Than the junkyard would hold
 C
I wasn't hurtin' nobody
 G
 C
I wasn't hurtin' no one

 G
 You can fool some of the people part of the time
 FC
In a rock and roll song
 G
 Fifty million Elvis Presley Fans
 FC
Can't be all wrong

 C
 I'm walkin' down the street
Like Lucky Larue
 F
 Got my hand in my pocket, Baby
I'm thinkin' 'bout you
 C
I ain't hurtin' nobody
 G
 C
I ain't hurtin' no one
 CG
I ain't hurtin' nobody 
 C
I ain't hurtin' no one
 CFCG
             Hurtin' nobody  
 C
Hurtin' no one

             Hurtin' nobody  
 C
Hurtin' no one

             Hurtin' nobody  
 C
Hurtin' no one
