   G            D        A          Bm
I went to the subway to play my guitar
          G          D          A          Bm
with the Chicago police I didn't get very far
       G        D     A         Bm 
See, in my left pocket i had a bag
     G         D           A          Bm      A
and nobody liked it when i offered a drag, i said

Bm                  A
"Come on boys, you know you all do it!"
          G                                          G   A
But the look on their face said, "Man, you just blew it!"
      Bm                              A
They took me to the station, took my photograph
     G             D/F#        G          A
And if you ever see it, I'll bet you'll laugh

              G    D A Bm
They call me "Dion 46501"
       G              D           A         Bm
Just a free-wheeling, life-loving son of a gun
G          D               A        Bm
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
              G    D A Bm
I'm singing, "Dion 46501"

    G           D             A         Bm
Now back at the station they gave me a cell
          G            D             A            Bm
it was stinky, it was junky, it was ugly, it was cold as...
G        D          A       Bm
"Hello, neighbors, HOWDLEE DOO!
              G        D             A         Bm A
Why does the City of Chicago have a beef with you?"

Bm                A
One man said, "I mugged an old lady"
 G                                         G  A
Another man said, "I Ain't killed nobody lately"
 Bm                                        A
Another man said, "I'm the devil and I'll steal your soul"
          G         D/F#         G        A
I said, "I'm a musician playing rock and roll"

              G    D A Bm
They call me "Dion 46501"
       G              D           A         Bm
Just a free-wheeling, life-loving son of a gun
G          D               A        Bm
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
              G    D A Bm
I'm singing, "Dion 46501"

 
 G D A Bm

Bm           A
Late nights, early beers
G                   G A
I play, people cheer
Bm         A
I just do what i do
    G        D/F#          G         A
and i don't think that i'm bothering you

           G     D           A           Bm
Well they let me out about a quarter to four
                G              D                  A               Bm
they said, "Now keep this up, Dion, and we'll be seeing you some more!"
G           D       A      Bm
On the way home I lost me way
     G         D            A        Bm  A 
The city was coming on the break of day

Bm                        A
All the people looked at me with a sneer
          G                               G  A
They said, "What the hell is he doing here?"
Bm                       A
I hopped a bus about a quarter to five
       G         D/F#        G        A
And I said to myself, "Thank God i'm alive!'

         G    D A Bm
Singing "Dion 46501"
       G              D           A         Bm
Just a free-wheeling, life-loving son of a gun
G          D               A        Bm
Come on now boys, I didn't hurt anyone
              G    D A Bm
I'm singing, "Dion 46501"

Closing: G D A Bm
