I don't need no one's opinion
On the matter concerning my dress.
I was raised in a clinic down in 
Oklahoma,
There were many things I did not 
possess.
A
I never complained, because my 
father said,
"Son you'll get your chance before 
you're my age".
        E
Then he took me upstairs and gave me
 this suit
Written all over his face
          B
He said, "Others may come and others
 may go,
          A
But that suit will be around 
wherever you're goin'"

E
I had my fair share of neat women,
But they came between me and my 
suit.
That was a filly from Boston, a 
barmaid from Houston,
Not forgetting the one in Detroit.
               A
They said, "We like you boy and we 
think you're sweet,
But can't you lose your suit?"
        E
I said, "No, no, no, no, you can't 
do that to me"
I remember what my father said:
          B
He said, "Others may come and others
 may go,
          A
But that suit will be around 
wherever you're goin'"
E                          A
Three button hand me down, ha ha,
E                          A
Three button hand me down

E
I've never been a tidy dresser
And the fold in my trousers it ain't
 straight.
Still I know a good cloth when I see
 one.
That's why I'm clad in this gray 
flannel suit.
A
Sometimes I wonder if I should visit
 a tailor
And get myself a smooth outfit.
       E
Then I remember what my father said 
to me.
I'll make you from the open road
          B
He said, "Others may come and others
 may go,
          A
But that suit will be around 
wherever you go"
E                           A
Three button hand me down,
E                           A

If you want to play along with the 
Black Crowes' live version of this
song, you'll just have to play the 
exact same thing one step lower.
