[Verse 1]
Now I Dmet an old friend in the bar the other night
And he Ggot a little drunk and he wanted to fight
And he E7jumped up and challenged every man in the A7room
And Djust about the time he got the words out
An ol' Gboy jumped up and closed his mouth
And A7used his head for a mop and his butt for a DbroomA  
[Chorus 1]
It was an Dattitude adB7justment, I guess E7it was A7his first Dtime
 DAn attitude adB7justment, now he E7understands just A7fine
           DN.C.                   D7N.C.
He got bent out of shape, then he opened his mouth
        GN.C.                 GmN.C.
And just one appointment straightened him right out 
It was an Dattitude adB7justment, E7it'll work A7every Dtime
[Verse 2]
Now DI've got this big ol' brother-in-law
And Gme and him just never did get along
'Cause E7he wants to make sure I'm treating his sister A7right
He got Ddrunk one night, started beating me up
And I Gwent and got a tire tool out of the truck
And A7laid him out as cold as a block of DiceA  
[Chorus 2]
It was an Dattitude adB7justment and E7it'll work A7every Dtime
 DAn attitude adB7justment, I E7made him see the A7light
      DN.C.            D7N.C.
Now he says I'm his kind of man
            GN.C.                 GmN.C.
And he comes around me with his hat in his hand
It was an Dattitude adB7justment, I cured E7all his A7family Dpride
[Verse 3]
Now Dmy girlfriend slapped me in the face
And I Gsaid, "Darlin', that was your first mistake"
And E7then she went wild and her eyes turned A7red
She started Dbreaking everything and screaming loud
And Gkickin' me and cussin' me out
And I A7gave her a little adjustment on the top of the DheadA  
[Chorus 3]
It was an Dattitude adB7justment, ah, she E7loves on me A7all the Dtime
Just an Dattitude adB7justment, she got a E7whole new frame of A7mind
   DN.C.        D7N.C.        GN.C.             GmN.C.
She don't nag, I don't beg, we get along and like I said
Just an Dattitude adB7justment, oh E7everyA7thing's just Dfine (Well, alAmost)
[Verse 4]
 DShe called the cops to take me in
And I Gsaid, "You're never gonna do it, friends"
And E7they just smiled and said, "Oh yes, we A7will"
Now a Dstick to the head and some kicks to the shins

[Verse 1]

Now I met an old friend in the bar the other night

And he got a little drunk and he wanted to fight

And just about the time he got the words out

An ol' boy jumped up and closed his mouth

A7 D A

And used his head for a mop and his butt for a broom

[Chorus 1]

Now I've got this big ol' brother-in-law

And me and him just never did get along

E7 A7

'Cause he wants to make sure I'm treating his sister right

He got drunk one night, started beating me up

And I went and got a tire tool out of the truck

A7 D A

And laid him out as cold as a block of ice

[Chorus 2]

She started breaking everything and screaming loud

And kickin' me and cussin' me out

A7 D A

And I gave her a little adjustment on the top of the head

[Chorus 3]

She called the cops to take me in

And I said, "You're never gonna do it, friends"

And several bites by Rin Tin Tin
