[Intro]
C
 C
I'm walkin' down the street
Like Lucky Larue
 F7
Got my hand in my pocket
I'm thinkin' 'bout you
        C              G
I ain't hurtin' nobody
                   C
I ain't hurtin' no one
  C
There's three hundred men
In the state of Tennessee
 F7
They're waiting to die
They won't never be free

I ain't hurtin' nobody

I ain't hurtin' no one
 G
Six million seven hundred thousand
                   F    C
And thirty-three lights on
 G
You think someone could take the time
                                       F   C
To sit down and listen to the words of my song
C
At the beach in Indiana
I was nine years old
F7
Heard Little Richard singing "Tutti Frutti"
From the top of a telephone pole
            C           G
I wasn't hurtin' nobody
                     C
I wasn't hurtin' no one
 C
There's roosters laying chickens
And chickens layin' eggs
F7
Farm machinery eating
People's arms and legs
          C             G
I ain't hurtin' nobody
                    C
I ain't hurtin' no one
G
Perfectly crafted popular hit songs never use
      F     C
the wrong rhyme
 G
You'd think that waitress could get my order
            F    C
Right the first time
[Instrumental]
 C    F    C   G    C
 C
She's sitting on the back steps
Just shucking that corn
 F7
That gal's been grinning
Since the day she was born
            C            G
She ain't hurtin' nobody
                      C
She ain't hurtin' no one
C
I used to live in Chicago
Where the cold wind blows
F7
I delivered more junk mail
Than the junkyard would hold
            C           G
I wasn't hurtin' nobody
                     C
I wasn't hurtin' no one
 G
You can fool some of the people part of the time
               F    C
In a rock and roll song
 G
Fifty million Elvis Presley Fans
          F    C
Can't be all wrong
C
I'm walkin' down the street
Like Lucky Larue
F7
Got my hand in my pocket, Baby
I'm thinkin' 'bout you
           C           G
I ain't hurtin' nobody
                    C
I ain't hurtin' no one
