[E]Laying in the alleyw[C#]ay
[F#7]Maybe some rich fool will[A7] come my way
[E]And throw me a[C#] dime
[F#7]That's all I need to g[A7]ive me more wine
[B7]All I got is to my names

Beat up guitar with three broken strings

[B7]I'm just saying "Taking care of no business"

Look it here
[E]Hey kitty cat!
Where you go[C#]ing?
[F#7]This part of the alley is [A]my home  [E]
Walking all over outside [C#]my wall   [F#]
Boy you sure got a[A] whole lotta gall  [B7]

I had a sandwich in a paper bag

But a rat stole it

Ain't that some drag?
[E]Lord, I know, I[C#] know
[F#7]I sure ain't [A]taking [Am]care of [E]no busines[B7]s

Break it home

[E]Now I'll try to get me a j[C#]ob
[F#7]Feeding chickens
And washing [A]down hogs
[E]But that meant standing up all the [C#]time
And st[F#]anding up to me is j[A7]ust like dying
[B7]I'm so lazy that I could cry

But tears are just too lazy to fall out my eyes
[E]Lord, lord, lo[C#]rd, I'm so[F#7] messed up [A]      [E]
Can't even take c[E]are of no business [C#]
                        [F#7]  [A]      [E] [C#]
[F#7]Play[A] i[E]t one more time
Aww[B7], woe is me  [E]
Aww, I s[B7]ure wish I had me a [E]sandwhich ahhh [C#]anything
