(ver. 1)
John Mellencamp
[Intro]
Am G F G (x6)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am               G
God gave Moses a few little rules
       F                      G
Said I want you to pass them around
Am             G
Take a look at those old fools
        F                               G
I can't believe the sh*t that's going down
 
       F                  G
You're supposed to have a good time
      F                              G
But I think you take it a little too far
Dm                    G
Watchin' your life in vista-vision
       Dm                        E7
Monkey on your back, a brand new car
 
 
[Solo]
Am G F G (x4)
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Am                         G
Well, Shakespeare threw down his pencil
       F                            G
Said I think I'm gonna start layin' brick
Am               G
Too much of this Romeo stuff's
          F            G
Enough to make anybody sick
 
F         G
"To be or not to be"
       F                       G
I mean what's that supposed to mean?
    Dm                  G
I'm changin' my image tomorrow
     Dm                E7
Be a groupie, make the scene
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                 G N.C.
Pray for me if you want to
        D                   Am
If you don't want to, don't stay
Am                G N.C.
Somebody shot the Vicar
        D                 Am
And the minister's on his way
        Am               G N.C.
Sellin' open legs on the corner
          D              F
Punch and Judy workin' uptown
D
Pray for me if you want to
        E7
Before some fool shoots you down
 
 
[Solo]
Am G F G (x4)
 
 
[Verse 3]
          Am                 G
Well, the man in the cage is always for freedom
    F                          G
The way of the transgressor is hard
Am                G
Cain and Abel and their old man
        F                  G
Playin' croquet in the backyard
 
F                    G
Two guys beat up the sole survivor
F                   G
Up beat on the back street
  Dm                 G
I don't really wanna get involved
      Dm                    E7
Won't someone help me to my feet
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                 G N.C.
Pray for me if you want to
        D                   Am
If you don't want to, don't stay
Am                G N.C.
Somebody shot the Vicar
        D                 Am
And the minister's on his way
        Am               G N.C.
Sellin' open legs on the corner
          D              F
Punch and Judy workin' uptown
D
Pray for me if you want to
        E7
Before some fool shoots you down
 
 
[Solo]
Am G F G (x4)
 
 
[Outro]
Am G F G (x3)
