[Verse]
G#m             E         Eb    
Johnny's in the basement, mixin'
        E
 up the medicine,
G#m        E         Eb         
I'm on the pavement, thinking 
        E
about the government.
G#m            E            Eb  
The man in the trench coat, 
       E
badge out, laid off,
G#m             E          Eb   
Says he's got a bad cough, wants
           E
 to get it paid off.

[Chorus]
C#        B         Bbm          
Look out, kid, it's something you 
 B
did,
C#        B                Bbm  
God knows when, but you're doin'
     B
 it again.
C#                   B         
Better duck down the alleyway, 
Bbm           B
lookin' for a new friend.
Eb
Man in the coonskin cap, in the big 
pen,
Eb
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only 
got ten.

G#m          E           Eb     
Maggie comes fleet foot, face 
      E
full of black soot,
G#m              E               
Talking that the heat put plants 
       Eb                         
in the bed but the phone's tapped 
E
anyway,
G#m              E         Eb   
Maggie says that many say, they 
             E
must bust in early May,
G#m             E   Eb E
Orders from the D.A.

[Chorus]
C#        B          Bbm        
Look out, kid, don't matter what
     B
 you did,
C#           B        Bbm       
Walk on your tiptoes, don't try No 
B
Doz.
Eb
Better stay away from those, that 
carry 'round a fire hose,
Eb
Keep a clean nose, watch the 
plainclothes, to know which way the 
wind blows.

G#m       E         Eb          
Get sick, get well, hangin' 
      E
'round an inkwell,
G#m    E             Eb         
Ring a bell, hard to tell, it's 
      E
gonna sell.
G#m       E              Eb     
Try hard, getin' barred, get 
         E
back, write Braille,
G#m            E          Eb    
Getin' jailed, jump bail, join 
        E
the army if you failm
