If you wants to get crooked I'm gonna give you my fist
           C        C/B         A
You might read from Revelations back to Genesee

You might take it from the south you might carry it up north
    C           C/B                    A
But understand you can't rule or either be my boss
C                C/B   A
Take it from the east, hide it in the west
D7                                 G7              C

Every time I hit you you'll think I've got a dozen hands
