Dion

I w[G]ent to the su[D]bway to p[A]lay my guit[Bm]ar
with the C[G]hicago poli[D]ce I didn't[A] get very f[Bm]ar
See, in[G] my left [D]pocket[A] i had a b[Bm]ag
and n[G]obody like[D]d it when i [A]offered a d[Bm]rag, i s[A]aid

[Bm]"Come on boys, you k[A]now you all do it!"
But the lo[G]ok on their face said, "Man, you just blew [G]it!"[A]
They t[Bm]ook me to the station, took my p[A]hotograph
And i[G]f you ever see[D/F#] it, I'll be[G]t you'll la[A]ugh

They call me "[G]Dion [D]46[A]50[Bm]1"
Just a [G]free-wheeling, [D]life-loving [A]son of a g[Bm]un
[G]Come on now[D] boys, I didn't [A]hurt anyo[Bm]ne
I'm singing, "[G]Dion [D]46[A]50[Bm]1"

Now [G]back at the [D]station they g[A]ave me a c[Bm]ell
it was sti[G]nky, it was j[D]unky, it was u[A]gly, it was c[Bm]old as...
[G]"Hello, n[D]eighbors, H[A]OWDLEE D[Bm]OO!
Why does the C[G]ity of Ch[D]icago have a b[A]eef with y[Bm]ou?[A]"

[Bm]One man said, "I m[A]ugged an old lady"
A[G]nother man said, "I Ain't killed nobody la[G]tel[A]y"
A[Bm]nother man said, "I'm the devil and I'll s[A]teal your soul"
I said, "I[G]'m a music[D/F#]ian playing r[G]ock and r[A]oll"

They call me "[G]Dion [D]46[A]50[Bm]1"
Just a [G]free-wheeling, [D]life-loving [A]son of a g[Bm]un
[G]Come on now[D] boys, I didn't [A]hurt anyo[Bm]ne
I'm singing, "[G]Dion [D]46[A]50[Bm]1"



 [G]  [D]  [A]  [Bm]

L[Bm]ate nights, ea[A]rly beers

I[G] play, people cheer  [G]     [A]

I[Bm] just do wha[A]t i do

a[G]nd i don't[D/F#] think that i'm[G] bothering [A]you

W[G]ell the[D]y let me out [A]about a quart[Bm]er to four

t[G]hey said, "Now k[D]eep this up, Dion, a[A]nd we'll be seein[Bm]g you some more!"

O[G]n the way hom[D]e I lost [A]me way  [Bm]

T[G]he city was[D] coming on the[A] break of [Bm]day  [A]

A[Bm]ll the people looked at me [A]with a sneer

T[G]hey said, "What the hell is he do[G]ing [A]here?"

I[Bm] hopped a bus about a quar[A]ter to five

A[G]nd I said t[D/F#]o myself, "Th[G]ank God i'[A]m alive!'

S[G]inging[D] "D[A]ion[Bm] 46501"

J[G]ust a free-wheel[D]ing, life-lov[A]ing son of [Bm]a gun

C[G]ome on now b[D]oys, I didn't hur[A]t anyone  [Bm]

I[G]'m sin[D]gin[A]g, [Bm]"Dion 46501"

Closing:
 [G]  [D]  [A]  [Bm]
