State Trooper Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
'Neath [Dm]the refinery's glow
out where the [Am]great black rivers flow

[Verse 2]
[Am]License, registration, I ain't got none
But I [Dm]got a clear conscience
[Am]'bout the things that I done
[Am]

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
[Dm]Please don't stop me, [Am]please don't stop me

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Maybe you got a kid,
maybe you got a pretty wife
The [Dm]only thing that I got's
been [Am]bothering me my whole life

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Mister state trooper, please don't stop me
[Dm]Please don't stop me, [Am]please don't stop me

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 4]
In the [Am]wee wee hours your mind gets hazy
Radio [Dm]relay towers gonna [Am]lead me to my baby

[Verse 5]
The [Am]radio's jammed up with talk show stations
It's just [Dm]talk, talk, talk, talk,
'til you [Am]lose your patience
[Am]Mister state trooper,
[Dm]please don't stop [Am]me

[Interlude 3]
[Am]Whoa [Am]Whoo-[Am]whoo[Am]
[Dm][Dm][Am][Am]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Hey, somebody out there,
listen to my last prayer
[Dm]Hi ho silver-o, de[Am]liver me from nowhere

[Outro 1]
[Am]Whoa[Am] Woo[Am][Am]
[fade out]
