It's Not Ok Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Zac Brown Band
Guitars tuned down a half step so Eb, Bb, Gb, Db, Ab, eb, No capo.

There seems to be a rhythm part over the chorus that's got a reggae feel, upstroke on 
every offbeat.

Intro
F F F G
F F F G F

F
A man was bothering me today and I
F
wanted to tell him to go away
F                                             G
But I stood and listened to him anyway, okay.
F
He said he didn't want to shoot that man
F
And it was his thing and I wouldn't understand
F                           G       F
And he had done all that he can, okay.

Break (Repeat Intro chords)

F
I guess his body was as good as mine
F
And just like me he was wasting time
F                                                         G
Turning over every stone to see what he could find, okay.
F
He was filling his tank and he asked for money
F
I lied and said I didn't have any
F                                 G                        F
Then my conscious took over and I gave him a hand full of change.

F                 F
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
G                 F
Stay right there.
F                  F
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there
G         F       F
You don't seem to care

Break (repeat intro chords)

F
I know its hard to survive in the city
F
When the beautiful days don't look so pretty
F                                                       G
And you don't have windows to keep the night away, okay.
F
He was dirty and stinky and just a bit crude
F
But I didn't say that because that's kind of rude
F                                           G                F
And he didn't care what I had to say in the first place, okay.

Break (repeat intro chords)

F                                            F
I wanted to say you're a big disgrace to the world, yourself, and the human race
F                                                       G
And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okay.
F
No its not okay and I didn't do that
      F                                      F                    G
But I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and told him to have a very nice
               F
rest of the day

F                 F
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
G                 F
Stay right there.
F                  F
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there
G         F       F
You don't seem to care

Break for solos (intro chords)

F
Guess he bought some booze or sh*t
    F                                     F
And sure that bothers me a little bit but it's his life and I can't tell him
              G
how to live it
      F                                  F
As he turned and started to go his way I tried to think of something wise to
    (Stop playing for a pause)
say like...

Just on the bass notes leading up to the C play A,Bb,B,C, listen to the song for it.

F                 F
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing.
G                 F
Stay right there.
F                  F
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there
G         F       F
You don't seem to care
F                 F
You'll die there, you'll die there
G         F       F
You don't seem to care
