        I'm a p[E]oor boy b[A]orn in a r[D]ubble  [A]
        And s[E]ome say my m[A]anners ain't the b[D]est   [A]
        And s[E]ome of my fr[A]iends, yeah, they b[D]een in real tr[A]ouble
        And s[E]ome say I'm no b[A]etter than the r[D]est    [A]

        But [2,3: So] tell your m[B]ama and your papa   [B]      [C]         [B]
                      [N.C.]             [E]   [A]   [D]   [A]  [2: repeat [E]-[A]-[D]-[A]]
        Sometimes good guys don't wear white, yeah

        Every day, baby, I work hard
        And it's true at night I spend the restless time
        But those rich kids and all their lazy money
        Can't hold a candle to mine

[repeat chorus]

        G[G]ood guys, bad guys, wh[C]ich is which
        The wh[G]ite-collar worker or the d[C]igger in the ditch
        And, w[G]ho's to say who's a b[C]etter man
        When I've a[B]lways done the best I can

[repeat intro]

        A-bad words and dirty minds
        All those messed-up chicks of the changing times
        White pills and easy livin'
        Can't replace the love I'm givin'

[repeat chorus]

Coda [rant over [E]-[A]-[D]-[A] to fade]:

        Ha, I mean to tell you
        You better tell your mama and your papa somethin'
        I'll split, I'll find myself another chick, yeah
        Ah, just for kicks
        You think those guys in the white collars are better than
               I am?  Then flake off!
        You don't dig this long hair?  Get yourself a crewcut, baby!
        Yeah!  I mean what I say!  I don't need nobody, baby [fade]
