D7 G
I've been watching the way you've been watching my miss
G7 C
For the last three weeks you been hot on her trail
D7 G
And you kinda upset this U.S. Male
Am
You touch her once with your greasy hands
D7 G

G Am
She's wearing a ring that I bought her on sale
D7 G
And that makes her the property of this U.S. Male

Through the rain and the heat and the sleet and the snow
D7 G

D7 G
You ain't pulling no wool over this boy's eyes
