       A  E7  A  E7
Now A my friend Bill was just a D working lad
And he C# liked to have his D fun.
He'd like to A find a girl and get E comfortable
When his D working day was E7 done.
He would F#m spend all his money on a C#7 Friday night,
D Wake up in the morning A broke,
But he F#m had a run in with little C#7 Lucy then;
BeDlieve me that ain't no E7 joke.
  A Watch C#7 out for F#m Lucy, D
  A Though she C#7 may look F#m frail. D
  Said, "ExAcuse me, C#7 Lucy,
  F#m Darling don't you D use me;
  A I don't want to E7 land in A jail."
  A  C#7  F#m  D
  A  E7  A  E7
She A started out working in a D cafe,
Picking C# money up on the D side.
She was A free and easy, E everybody's friend,
But she D couldn't be satisE7fied.
So now F#m in walks Bill with his C#7 cash in his hand,
His D heart upon his A sleeve.
We F#m tried to warn him aC#7bout her ways,
We D never did sucE7ceed.

Well, the A trap was sprung for D poor old Bill;
You should have C# heard little Lucy D sing
"I want a A Cadillac car, a E beautiful home,
And a D thousand dollar E7 ring."
They F#m found our hero in the C#7 gutter
With a D diamond ring and a A gun.
He'd F#m done it for the love of C#7 Lucy
And D ended up on the E7 run.
