INTRO:  C5 

 C5 
I'm walkin' down the street 

Like Lucky Larue 
 F5 
Got my hand in my pocket 

I'm thinkin' 'bout you 
        C5              G5 
I ain't hurtin' nobody 
                   C5 
I ain't hurtin' no one 
  C5 
There's three hundred men 

In the state of Tennessee 
 F5 
They're waiting to die 

They won't never be free 
          C5             G5 
I ain't hurtin' nobody 
                    C5 
I ain't hurtin' no one 
 G5 
Six million seven hundred thousand 
                   F5    C5 
And thirty-three lights on 
 G5 
You think someone could take the time 
                                       F5   C5 
To sit down and listen to the words of my song 
C5 
At the beach in Indiana 

I was nine years old 
F5 
Heard Little Richard singing "Tutti Frutti" 

>From the top of a telephone pole 
            C5           G5 
I wasn't hurtin' nobody 
                     C5 
I wasn't hurtin' no one 
 C5 
There's roosters laying chickens 

And chickens layin' eggs 
F5 
Farm machinery eating 

People's arms and legs 
          C5             G5 
I ain't hurtin' nobody 
                    C5 
I ain't hurtin' no one 
G5 
Perfectly crafted popular hit songs never use 
      F5     C5 
the wrong rhyme 
 G5 
You'd think that waitress could get my order 
            F5    C5 
Right the first time 

INSTRUMENTAL: 
 C5    F5    C5   G5    C5 

 C5 
She's sitting on the back steps 

Just shucking that corn 
 F5 
That gal's been grinning 

Since the day she was born 
            C5            G5 
She ain't hurtin' nobody 
                      C5 
She ain't hurtin' no one 
C5 
I used to live in Chicago 

Where the cold wind blows 
F5 
I delivered more junk mail 

Than the junkyard would hold 
            C5           G5 
I wasn't hurtin' nobody 
                     C5 
I wasn't hurtin' no one 
 G5 
You can fool some of the people part of the time 
               F5    C5 
In a rock and roll song 
 G5 
Fifty million Elvis Presley Fans 
          F5    C5 
Can't be all wrong 
C5 
I'm walkin' down the street 

Like Lucky Larue 
F5 
Got my hand in my pocket, Baby 

I'm thinkin' 'bout you 
           C5           G5 
I ain't hurtin' nobody 
                    C5 
I ain't hurtin' no one 

ENDING: 
          C5            G5 
I ain't hurtin' nobody 
                    C5 
I ain't hurtin' no one 
  C5      F5 

  C5            G5 
Hurtin' nobody 
            C5 
Hurtin' no one 
  C5      F5 

  C5            G5 
Hurtin' nobody 
            C5 
Hurtin' no one 
  C5      F5 

  C5           G5 
Hurtin' nobody 
            C5  Fade 
Hurtin' no one
