Stripes

	  		

 

Capo on 2 


        Am          G 
Woah, woah, woah, woah 

Am                   
You were lyin' there with nothing on 


But a goofy little grin and a platinum blonde 

    G                                                  Am 
I can't believe you'd do that on our bed 


I got a pistol and I got a bullet 


And a pissed off finger just'a itchin' to pull it 

         G                                                       Am 
The only thing keepin' me from losin' my head 

Chorus: 

              C                                 Am 
Is I hate stripes and orange ain't my color 

                C 
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight  

              G 
I'll be wearin' one or the other 

                Am                                    C 
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion 

      F                             Am 
The only thing savin' your life 

            C                     G                                Am 
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes 

Am          G 
Woah, woah, woah 


Am    
I could fall in love with the prison guard 


I could sell cigarettes in the prison yard 

       G                                                          Am 
Don't think hard time would be that hard on me 


I could pick up trash on the side of the road 


But I'd die if I saw someone I know 

              G                                                        Am 
Ain't the chains, it's the clothes that's stoppin' me 



Chorus: 

              C                                 Am 
Is I hate stripes and orange ain't my color 

                C 
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight  

              G 
I'll be wearin' one or the other 

                Am                                    C 
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion 

      F                             Am 
The only thing savin' your life 

            C                     G                                Am 
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes 



Bridge: 

            C                                         Am 
Oh, and one shot ain't worth a bad mugshot 

                              C 
God knows I wouldn't be caught holdin' up a number 
While the whole town's starin' at the picture 
In the paper of me wearin' stripes 

C      Am      G       Am 


FINAL Chorus: 

               Am                                    C 
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion 

       F                             Am 
The only thing savin' your life  

          C                          G                          Am 
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes 


And orange ain't my color 

                C 
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight  

          G 
I'll be wearin' one or the other  

               Am                                       C 
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion  

         F                           Am 
The only thing savin' your life 

            C                        G                               Am 
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes
