Can’t even do wrong right. Elvin Bishop
[Intro]
A riff  verse A with 454 0n D string.
AI know a cat by the name of Mo Reece  He’s   all the time running from the police.
Every time you see him, he’s up to some dirty trick. He’s got the nerve to think he’s slick.
                          Driff           Ariff      E  
But he ain’t.  He messes up every time             Oh to tell you the truth 
                                    D   Ariff
The dude Can’t even do wrong right
AMo Reece took a notion to rip off the house down the street. 
Heard they had a whole lot of good weed. He snuck around back and made it in the house Ok.
And located the stash and he rolled up a jay. He got high and hungry wanted something to eat
Went in the kitchen and ate up every damn thing he could see. 
But man between the food and the weed he set down on the couch and he went to sleep.
                     Driff                      Ariff     E  
He got caught.       In the middle of the night           Oh ain’t it a shame
                                  D   Ariff
The dude  Can’t even do wrong right
AGot him a new car went out to celebrate,  got hung up at the bar and started running late.
Jump back in his ride and started to roll. He said 100 mile an hour.  Ohoo  Look at me go.
Thought he had everything under control.  I’m talking highway patrol.
                    Driff                      Ariff              E  
He got caught.      In the middle of the night         Oh lord have mercy

AMo Reese was a dog. Gonna try and cheat on his wife.
 I believe I’ll get me a little something on the side     found him a woman way cross town.
Said I’ll be real cool this time and keep it on the low down.
