Capo on IV Pretty simple pattern here: each verse is C5 F5 G5 , and each chorus is F5 C5 G5 C. Drop your pinkie on the high E string if you'd like. C5 Well I was outside city hall F5 Slipped and took a terrible fall G5 C5 Negligence on the part of I don't care who I fell so hard I was seeing stars F5 Dollar signs fell from Mars G5 C5 The man who helped me up said I should sue F5 He was a lawyer C5 G5 C5 He was all out of breath C5 Once I had an accident F5 Not too bad, just a little dent G5 C5 A Mercedes hit me from the rear A man walked out in a three piece suit F5 Asked if a thousand dollars would do G5 C5 I said let me think for a minute here CHORUS F5 Gotta talk to my lawyer C5 I might have whiplash G5 I might have trauma C5 Let's not talk petty cash F5 I've got a witness C5 Put a hand on the bible G5 Jury jury hallelujah C5 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
