[Verse 1]
    Am                       F                     F7
There was a crooked man and he wore a crooked smile.
   C                              G                       Gaug
He built a crooked highway and it ran for miles and miles.
     Am                      F                      F7
With money from the revenue, sponsorship from Ford.
   C                              G                     Gsus4
It barely holds together with the goodwill of the Lord.

[Verse 2]

       Am                          F                    F7
In the penthouse of the baron, the little children sleep
C                                  G                    Gaug
Daddy talks to smugglers while the armed gorillas creep.
Am                             F                     F7
Poison for the great unwashed, business for the mob.
  C                              G                  Gsus4
Another teenage murder it’s just trouble on the job

  Am                      F                     F7
A newsleak in the city, another scandal breaks.
C                           G                      Gaug
Sex and drugs in city hall, someone’s on the make.
Am                    F                        F7
Legal bounty hunters, aim their lawsuits well.
    C                              G                      Gsus4
The victim talks to Playboy says I guess I’ll go to hell.
