Capo on IV Pretty simple pattern here: each verse is C F G , and each chorus is F C G C. Drop your pinkie on the high E string if you'd like. C Well I was outside city hall F Slipped and took a terrible fall G C Negligence on the part of I don't care who I fell so hard I was seeing stars F Dollar signs fell from Mars G C The man who helped me up said I should sue F He was a lawyer C G C He was all out of breath C Once I had an accident F Not too bad, just a little dent G C A Mercedes hit me from the rear A man walked out in a three piece suit F Asked if a thousand dollars would do G C I said let me think for a minute here CHORUS F Gotta talk to my lawyer C I might have whiplash G I might have trauma C Let's not talk petty cash F I've got a witness C Put a hand on the bible G Jury jury hallelujah C You might be liable Well my mama said Uncle Jim I just don't know what's wrong with him That son of mine is a no good big wazoo Well I have never overheard Such a bunch of slanderous words I tell you mama, I've got a mind to sue CHORUS Gotta talk to my lawyer Mama that was vicious Defamation of character, wrongful and malicious I've got a witness Put a hand on the bible Jury jury hallelujah You might be liable, mama Then I was trying to open up my map Spilled my coffee on my lap How was I to know that it was hot Went back to that fast food place To the manager with the happy face Said I want the name of whoever brewed that pot CHORUS Gotta talk to my lawyer Think I've got a pretty good case Get some crutches, maybe put on a neck brace I've got a witness Put a hand on the bible Jury jury hallelujah You might be liable
