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