Intro: A C#7 F#m D A E7 A E7 Now A my friend Bill was just a D working lad And he C# liked to have his D fun. He'd like to A find a girl and get E comfortable When his D working day was E7 done. He would F#m spend all his money on a C#7 Friday night, D Wake up in the morning A broke, But he F#m had a run in with little C#7 Lucy then; BeDlieve me that ain't no E7 joke. A Watch C#7 out for F#m Lucy, D A Though she C#7 may look F#m frail. D Said, "ExAcuse me, C#7 Lucy, F#m Darling don't you D use me; A I don't want to E7 land in A jail." A C#7 F#m D A E7 A E7 She A started out working in a D cafe, Picking C# money up on the D side. She was A free and easy, E everybody's friend, But she D couldn't be satisE7fied. So now F#m in walks Bill with his C#7 cash in his hand, His D heart upon his A sleeve. We F#m tried to warn him aC#7bout her ways, We D never did sucE7ceed. Chorus A C#7 F#m D A E7 A E7 Well, the A trap was sprung for D poor old Bill; You should have C# heard little Lucy D sing "I want a A Cadillac car, a E beautiful home, And a D thousand dollar E7 ring." They F#m found our hero in the C#7 gutter With a D diamond ring and a A gun. He'd F#m done it for the love of C#7 Lucy And D ended up on the E7 run. Chorus Chorus Solo on Chorus Three Times
