[Verse 1]
  A
I had a girl, her name was Eve
D
Every time I'd hit her she'd holler "Police" 
A
Cook them biscuits, cook 'em brown 
D
Done talkin' I'll tear it around 
       G                          D 
If you catch another mule kickin' in your stall 
A            D
Then tear it down 


[Chorus]
    A
Oh, tear it down (bed, slats and all)
    D
Oh, tear it down (bed, slats and all)
    A
Oh, tear it down (bed, slats and all)
    D
Oh, tear it down (bed, slats and all)
       G                          D 
If you catch another mule kickin' in your stall 
A                      D
Man, you gotta tear it down

Went upstairs to ring the bell

Police in the alley sniffin' cocaine
