[Intro]
im as Gmild-mannered as can D7be
(D7)                                 G  
and i've never done no harm as i can see
(G)
still on me they put a ban
and they Cthrew me in the can
they go A7wild, simply D7wild over Gme
[Verse 1]
they aGccuse me of rascaliD7ty
(D7)                                 G  
but i can't see why the always pick on me
(G)
i'm as gentle as a lamb
but they Ctake me for a ram
they go A7wild, simply D7wild over Gme
[Verse 2]
oh, thGe cop he went wild over D7me
(D7)                                     G  
and he held his gun where everyone could see
(G)
he was breathing rather hard
when he sCaw my union card
he went A7wild simply wD7ild over Gme
[Verse 3]
and thGe judge he went wild over D7me
(D7)                               G  
and i plainly saw we never could agree
(G)
so i let the man obey
what his Cconscience had to say
he went A7wild, simply D7wild over Gme
[Verse 4]
the  jGailer he went wild over D7me
(D7)                                   G  
and he locked me up and threw away the key
(G)
it seems to be the rage
to keep mCe in a cage
they go A7wild, simply D7wild over Gme
[Verse 5]
they gGo wild, simply wild D7over me
(D7)                                 G  
i'm referring to the bedbug and the flea
(G)
they disturb my slumber deep
and i murCmer in my sleep
they go A7wild, simply D7wild over Gme
[Outro]
will tGhe roses grow wild oD7ver me
(D7)                                   G  
when i'm gone into the land that is to be
(G)
when my soul and body part
in the sCtillness of my heart
will the A7roses grow wD7ild over mGe?
