Trouble In The City Chords

(ver. 1)
J.J. Cale
[Intro]
B       B      B      B
B       B      B      B

[Verse 1]
B                       B
Heard the one about your woman
B                       B
Lord, she's been messing 'round
E                       E
She's been stepping out on the street
E                         B
Lord, she's been hanging out
E               E
Ain't nobody had her this week
B       A         E
but it won't take long

[Chorus]
B               E
Lord Lord there's trouble in the city
B               E
Lord Lord, there's trouble in the city
B               E
Lord Lord, there's trouble in the city
        D       A              B      B
And I hope it won't mess with me

[Verse 2]
B               B
Walking downtown the other day
B               B
A man put a gun in my back
E                       E              E
"Give me all you've got or I'll blow you away
E               B
That's a fact, Jack"
E                       B  A          E
Woe me, misery . . , too much been going down

[Chorus]
B               E
Lord Lord, there's trouble in the city
B               E
Lord Lord, there's trouble in the city
B               E
Lord Lord, there's trouble in the city
        D          A           B      B
And I hope it won't mess with me

B       B      B      B

[Verse 3]
B                       B
Catch the next train out of here
B                       B
Goodbye, I'll see you, so long
E               E              E
Time was I could face it here
E                       B
That was a long time ago
E               E
I'll leave you very low,
        B          A           E
next time you won't see me at all

[Chorus]
B               E
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
B               E
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
B               E
Lord, lord, there's trouble in the city
     D         A             B            B
And I hope it won't mess with me
