Verse 1:

G                                         Bm7
 Don't wanna believe what they're telling me;
C                                     D7sus4  D
 Somebody's been pickin' in my cherry tree.
G                                   Bm7
 Don't wanna mistrust nobody by mis-take,
C                                                   D7sus4  B7
 But I hear tell someone's been diggin' round in my cake.

 But somebody said somebody's shoes was under my bed.
G                                   Bm7
 Don't wanna cause nobody no bodily harm,
C                                            D7sus4  B7
 But somebody's been rubbin' on my good luck charm.
