[Verse 1]
[G]There was
a crooked [C]man,
he went a crooked mile
[G]Well now he always
wore [D]a crooked smile
[G]Of all the crooked men
[C]in all the [C#dim]crooked w[A]est
[D]This man was [G]the[D]
crook[G]edest[F]
[G]There's a crooked [C]tree
[F]Just [G]a -waitin' for him[E][G][E][G][C]
[Am]
[G]Live by the golden rul[C]e,
do unto others [G]first,
help women on their [D]way.
From bad to [G]worst,
here was a gambling [C]man,
learned at the [A]age of eight, [D]how to deal.
A crooked [G]straight.[F]
[G]There's the crooked [C]tree
[F]Just [G]waiting for him[C]
[F]By [G]a crooked s[E]tream[G]

[C]Starts looking good to you
[G]Send for that crooked man[D]
To see you [G]through,
going his crooked way
[C]Taking the [C#dim]crooked t[A]rail,[D]
[G]riding his cro[E]oked mule
[G]Switching her [E]crooked [G]tail,
smiling his [E]crooked smile
[G]Oh yeah, but [E]all the [F]while,
[G]there's the crooked [C]tree[F]
[G]Just waiting for [C]him,
[F]if [G]it ever get [E]him.[G][E][G][C]
What's a crooked [Am]man?
What's a crooked [C]man?
What a man, what a man.
He wasn't such a man...
