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
