[Verse]
       A7                          
Do you believe I would take such a 
D7                 A7        
thing with me, And give it to a 
          D7
police man?
           A7          D7     
I wouldn't do that, oh no (ooh,

ooh), I wouldn't do that (ooh, ooh)
Continues after the ad
         A7               D7

"Sir,  Come on and put the charge on
D7
 me"
