Capo on IV
Pretty simple pattern here: each verse is , and each chorus is . Drop
your pinkie on the high E string if you d like.
Well I was outside city hall
Slipped and took a terrible fall
Negligence on the part of I don t care who
I fell so hard I was seeing stars
Dollar signs fell from Mars
The man who helped me up said I should sue
He was a lawyer
He was all out of breath
Once I had an accident
Not too bad, just a little dent
A Mercedes hit me from the rear
A man walked out in a three piece suit
Asked if a thousand dollars would do
I said let me think for a minute here
CHORUS
Gotta talk to my lawyer
I might have whiplash
I might have trauma
Let s not talk petty cash
I ve got a witness
Put a hand on the bible
Jury jury hallelujah
You might be liable
Well my mama said Uncle Jim
I just don t know what s wrong with him
That son of mine is a no good big wazoo
Well I have never overheard
Such a bunch of slanderous words
I tell you mama, I ve got a mind to sue
CHORUS
Gotta talk to my lawyer
Mama that was vicious
Defamation of character, wrongful and malicious
I ve got a witness
Put a hand on the bible
Jury jury hallelujah
You might be liable, mama
Then I was trying to open up my map
Spilled my coffee on my lap
How was I to know that it was hot
Went back to that fast food place
To the manager with the happy face
Said I want the name of whoever brewed that pot
CHORUS
Gotta talk to my lawyer
Think I ve got a pretty good case
Get some crutches, maybe put on a neck brace
I ve got a witness
Put a hand on the bible
Jury jury hallelujah
You might be liable
