My mama tCold me
Son to be pGolite
Take your hCat off
When you walk inDside
But the winds of cChange
They fill the GairC  
               GN.C.                     D  G  
And you can't set your hat down just anywhere

So if you Cplead not gGuilty
I'll Cbe the jGudge
           GN.C.                  D  G  
We don't need no jury to decide because
I wCear a seGven
And you're Cout of oGrder
                 GN.C.                             D  G  
'Cause I can tell from here, You're a seven and a quarter

If it's her you Cwant
I don't care about GthatC
