/ [E]/ /[G/D] / [E] / [G/D] / [E] / [G] / [A] /
(acoustic guitar, 2X; continue into verse):
[D]v v [C]v v
Verse 1
Well I [D]remember when you used to [C]look so good
And I [D]did everything that I [C]possibly could for [D][C]you[C][D]
We used to [D]ride around all [C]over town
But they're [D]puttin' you down for [C]bein' around with [D][C]me[C][D]
But you can [E]go ahead if you [G/D]want [E]to
[G/D] 'Cause I [E]ain't got [G]no papers [A]on [D][C]you[C][D]
Verse 2
In the middle of the summer I had a job bein' a plumber
Just to pass till the fall it was you I wanna ball all day
Ah-we were walkin' along, honey, hand in hand
I'm a-thinkin' of you, mama, when you're thinkin' of another man
But you can go ahead if you want to
'Cause I ain't got no papers on you
(No, I don't I ain't got no papers on myself)
Break ("Bo Diddley" beat):
[D] / / /[G] / [D]/ / /[C] / [D]/ / /[G] / [D]/ / /[C] /
Repeat Intro
(guitar solo over D-C intro riff [8X])
Verse 3
All alone on the bone when I didn't have a home
When I saw the way I was and I knew where I was supposed to be
I was twitchin' so I turned and it's really hard to learn
That everyone I saw was just another part of me
But you can go ahead if you want to
'Cause nobody's got no papers on you
(No, babe, it's just a falsehood)
Repeat Intro; End Cold On D
