Verse 1:

       G           G7
He's a man, with a plan,
      C                  Cm7
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand.
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

        G             G7
Playin' hard, talkin' fast,
       C                  Cm7
Makin' sure that he won't be the last.
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

        G            G7
Makes a deal, with a smile,
        C                     Cm7 
Knowin' all the time that his lie's a mile;
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

        G                G7
Must be seen, there's no doubt,
         C                    Cm7
He's the coolest one with the biggest mouth.
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

Chorus 1:

Am7                   G/B          C                D
 If you tell him he's livin' fast, he will say what do you know.
Em             D/F#                G                  Am7
 If you had my kind of cash, you'd have more than one place to go, oh,
G      A7   C         D7
 Ooh...ooh, ooh ooh...ooh.

Verse 2:

    G              G7
Any place; he will play,
    C                   Cm7
His only concern is how much you'll pay.
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

      G            G7
If he shakes, on a bet,
         C                       Cm7
He's the kind of dude that won't pay his debt.
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

Chorus 2:

Am7                     G/B
 When you say that he's livin' wrong,
      C                       D
He'll tell you he know's he's livin' right.
    Em                   D/F#
And you'd be, a stronger man,
       G                    Am7
If you took Misstra Know-It-All's advice, oh oh.
G      A7   C         D7
 Ooh...ooh, ooh ooh...ooh....

Verse 3:

       G           G7

Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand.
G     D7      C       G
 He's Misstra Know-It-All.

        G               G7
Take my word, please be-ware,
     C                   Cm7
Of a man that just don't give a care, no.
