26 dollars in my hand
D                F#    G                        A
Up to Lexington, 125, feel sick and dirty more dead than alive

Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around?
D                          F#          
Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind

Here he comes, he's all dressed in black

Beat up shoes and a big straw hat

He's never early, he's always late

Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs
D                       G          D    G
Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares
D                   F#    
He's got the works, gives you sweet taste
G                               A

D                      G                    D  G
I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out

I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine
G                                  A
Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time
