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
