Guitars tuned down a half step so Eb, Bb, Gb, Db, Ab, eb, No capo.

There seems to be a rhythm part over the chorus that's got a reggae feel, upstroke on 
every offbeat.

Intro
G5 C5 G5 D5
G5 C5 G5 D5 G5

G5
A man was bothering me today and I
C5
wanted to tell him to go away
G5                                             D5
But I stood and listened to him anyway, okay.
G5
He said he didn't want to shoot that man
C5
And it was his thing and I wouldn't understand
G5                           D5       G5
And he had done all that he can, okay.

Break (Repeat Intro chords)

G5
I guess his body was as good as mine
C5
And just like me he was wasting time
G5                                                         D5
Turning over every stone to see what he could find, okay.
G5
He was filling his tank and he asked for money
C5
I lied and said I didn't have any
G5                                 D5                        G5
Then my conscious took over and I gave him a hand full of change.

C5                 G5
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
D5                 G5
Stay right there.
C5                  G5
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there
D5         C5       G5
You don't seem to care

Break (repeat intro chords)

G5
I know its hard to survive in the city
C5
When the beautiful days don't look so pretty
G5                                                       D5
And you don't have windows to keep the night away, okay.
G5
He was dirty and stinky and just a bit crude
C5
But I didn't say that because that's kind of rude
G5                                           D5                G5
And he didn't care what I had to say in the first place, okay.

Break (repeat intro chords)

G5                                            C5
I wanted to say you're a big disgrace to the world, yourself, and the human race
G5                                                       D5
And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okay.
G5
No its not okay and I didn't do that
      C5                                      G5                    D5
But I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and told him to have a very nice
               G5
rest of the day

C5                 G5
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
D5                 G5
Stay right there.
C5                  G5
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there
D5         C5       G5
You don't seem to care

Break for solos (intro chords)

G5
Guess he bought some booze or shit
    C5                                     G5
And sure that bothers me a little bit but it's his life and I can't tell him
              D5
how to live it
      G5                                  C5
As he turned and started to go his way I tried to think of something wise to
    (Stop playing for a pause)
say like...

Just on the bass notes leading up to the C play A,Bb,B,C, listen to the song for it.

C5                 G5
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
D5                 G5
Stay right there.
C5                  G5
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there
D5         C5       G5
You don't seem to care
C5                 G5
You'll die there, you'll die there
D5         C5       G5
You don't seem to care
