Guitars tuned down a half step so Eb, Bb, Gb, Db, Ab, eb, No capo.
There seems to be a rhythm part over the chorus that's got a reggae feel, upstroke on
every offbeat.
Intro
G C G D
G C G D G
GA man was bothering me today and I
Cwanted to tell him to go away
GBut I stood and listened to him anyway, okay.D  
GHe said he didn't want to shoot that man
CAnd it was his thing and I wouldn't understand
GAnd he had done all that he Dcan, okaGy.
Break (Repeat Intro chords)
GI guess his body was as good as mine
CAnd just like me he was wasting time
GTurning over every stone to see what he could find, okay.D  
GHe was filling his tank and he asked for money
CI lied and said I didn't have any
GThen my conscious took over and I Dgave him a hand full of cGhange.
CDon't do a thing. GDon't do a thing.
DStay right there.G  
CYou'll lie there. GYou'll lie theE7re
Am7You don't seDem to caGre
Break (repeat intro chords)
GI know its hard to survive in the city
CWhen the beautiful days don't look so pretty
GAnd you don't have windows to keep the night away, okay.D  
GHe was dirty and stinky and just a bit crude
CBut I didn't say that because that's kind of rude
GAnd he didn't care what I had to say in the Dfirst place, okayG.
Break (repeat intro chords)
GI wanted to say you're a big disgrace to the Cworld, yourself, and the human race
GAnd reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okDay.
GNo its not okay and I didn't do that
But I Cgave him a smile and tipped my hat and Gtold him to have a veDry nice
rest of the dayG  
CDon't do a thing. GDon't do a thing.
DStay right there.G  
CYou'll lie there. GYou'll lie theE7re
Am7You don't seDem to caGre
Break for solos (intro chords)
GGuess he bought some booze with it
And Csure that bothers me a little bit but Git's his life and I can't tell him
how to live itD  
As he Gturned and started to go his way I Ctried to think of something wise to
(Stop playing for a pause)
say like...
Just on the bass notes leading up to the C play G,A,B,C, listen to the song for it.
CDon't do a thing. GDon't do a thing.
DStay right there.G  
CYou'll lie there. GYou'll lie theE7re
Am7You don't seDem to caGre
CYou'll lie there. GYou'll lie theE7re
