[D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D][G]
[A][G]
[F][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]I walked into this bar
And the [G]man refused;
He [A]said, "We [D]don't serve strangers
In blue [G]suede shoes;
We [D]don't give credit, and
We [G]don't give way
We [D]have to think about what
[G]the people might say..
[A]Uh, you kno[D]w what I mean "
I said, [G]"Sure, [A]man"
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
[A]Oh, he [D]gave me a smile that
was [G]sickly and wet,
And [D]I offered him one of m[G]y cigarettes.
[A]He [D]took it,
afraid that he [G]might appear rude,
[A]Then pro[D]ceeded to sell me some
[G]second class [A]food.
Nice guy meet 'em
[G]everywhere[F][G]

[Interlude 1]
[A][G][F]
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]He said, "My oh my,
I have [G]suffered too long,
[A]And [D]this cigarette seems to [G]be very strong;
I [D]don't make the rules
I just [G]get what I take
[A]And I g[D]uess every rule was
[G]made to break.
You can [D]take what you like,
it won't [G]hurt me
Cause [D]I'm just working for
[G]the company."
From the [D]green cigarette,
[G]He took a long drag,
And said, [D]"I think I'll pick
my [G]traveling bag.

[Verse 4]
I'm [D]tired of cheating,
and [G]wasting my head
And [D]filling the boss's [G]bags with bread.
I [D]want to get out in [G]the sun and rain,
And [D]feel the wind on on [G]skin again;
[D]The world is large, and I've [G]got time yet.
And, [D]by the way,
thanks for that [G]cigarette.[A]
[G]Thank you very [D]much."

[Verse 5]
"You [G]know, I feel like a new [D]man
Yes I do, [G]I don't know why;
I'd [A]just like to say
[G]Thank you [F]very[G][D]
much(indeed)
It's a beautiful [G]day
[D]I think I'll be on my way[G] (right away)
[A]I'd just like to say
[G]Thank you very much.
Yes, I'm getting the hell [D]out of here
Yes, I am [G]- bye, bye.
That's the end of [D]the mes[G]sage
[A]Tha[Am]nk yo[G]u [F]very[D] much.

[Outro 1]
Bye bye
[G][D][G][Am]
[G][D]
