verse 1
C
If I were you
F G C
I would gladly loan to me a dollar or two
G C
So I could eat and maybe get just one good night of sleep
But I'm not
C
And I'm stranded like a castaway in this town
F G F
And you seem so unwilling to help a fellow when he's down
C G
If I were you
C
That's what I'd do
EVERYONE FROM HERE:
verse 2
C
If I were you
F G C
I wouldn't be out on the streets the whole night through
G C
I'd have a job, and a pretty wife that I could come home to
But I don't
F G C
And I have twenty cents left to my name
F G F
And your the only one left here, that I have to blame
C G
If I were you
C
That's what I'd do
Bridge
F G C
You see It´s not my way to take from you, the things I haven't earned
F G C
I wish I could go back and heed, the lessons I have learned
verse 3
But I can´t
F G C
So you'll gladly put your money in this sack
F G C F
And yes sir, this things is loaded and I have the hammer back
C G
If I were you
C F
That´s what I'd do
C G
If I were you
C
That´s what I'd do
The End
