verse 1:   

E                               A                E  
   Well, One-Arm Steve, yeah he threw me out the door  
E                                    A                E  
   Said come back sometime when your picture's on the wall  
E  
   Hey now, you got to get on out,  
       A                  E  
Got no time to field your problems  
C                B              E  
   God damn, the repo man, been knocking on the door  
C                        B  
   Said sonny, won't you walk this line,  
             E               G  
And put your hands up on the car  
         A                           C  
Well, he may not be a talker, but he always knows  
B               E  
   What's going on  

(Main Groove x2)  

verse 2: 
  
So Sister Ann, she sat my ass up on the table  
Said sit still son, 'cause this won't hurt a bit  
Hey, now she's got a wonder drug  
For this deaf, dumb, and blind man  
Took me to the hospital, some nurse rolled up my sleeve  
Hey Annie, break my walking stick,  
And work a miracle on me  
She may not be the doctor, but she always knows  
What's going on  

(Main Groove x2)

verse 3: 
  
Well Say Hey Willy Mays, what's in your  
   suitcase full of wonders  
E                      C              B  
Big city doctor fix me up and make me right  
He said poppin' the devil's pills,  
Will take you straight to hell, boy  
God damn, the reaper man, he just walked through the door  
He said sonny won't you step outside  
And we can settle on your soul  
Willie Mays is not a toker, but he always knows  
What's going on

   What's going on
