[G]I don't need

[Verse 1]
[D]no one's opinion
[G]On the matter[D] concerning my dress
[G]I was rai[D]sed in a clinic
down in Oklahoma
There were many things I
did not [Dm]possess[D]
I [G]never complained because
my father said
[F]"Son, [G]you'll get your chance
before you're my age"
Then he [D]took me upstairs and
gave me this [G]suit
[D]Written all over his [G]face

[Verse 2]
He said, [A]"others may come
and the others may go
But that [G]suit will be around wherever
[C]you're [G]goin'"[D]
Three button [G]hand me [D]down
Three button [G]hand me down
[D]

[Verse 3]
Now I [D]had my fair share of these women
[G]But they [D]came between me and my suit
[G]There was a fil[D]ly from Boston,
a barmaid from Hou[G]ston
Not for[D]getting the one in Detroit
[Dm]They said,[G] "we like you, boy,
and we think you're sweet
But can't you lose your suit?"
[Gm]I sa[G]id, "no,[D] no, no, no,
you can't do that [Dm]to me"
[D]I remember what my father said

[Verse 4]
He said, [A]"others may come
and the others may go
[D]But that sui[G]t will be around
wherever you're [D]goin'"
Three button [G]hand me down, ha, [D]ha
Three button [G]hand me down

[Verse 5]
I've [D]never been a tidy dresser
And the fold in my trousers,
it ain't straight
Still, I know a good cloth when I see one
[C]That's why[D] I'm clad in
this gray flannel suit
[C]Sometimes

[Verse 6]
[G]I wonder if I
should visit a tailor
And get myself a smooth outfit
Then I re[Dm]member what
my [D]father said to me
[Dm]I'll make [D]you from the open road,
you all know this

[Verse 7]
He said, [A]"others may come
and the others may go
But [G]that suit'll be around wherever you go",
[Dm]c'mon
[D]Three button han[G]d me dow[D]n
Three button [G]hand me down,
[D]hah[G]a
