If you play with a band use C instead of Am, Bass will play the A-root, will sound great.
Strum 16th patterns with lots of ghost notes, try to throw in some sus chords.
Original is in Eb, so transpose this +8 for playing to the original file.
[Intro]
[Verse]
I broke the law last night
Commited a criminal and sexual act
She was on top in this state
That s an immediate pop
And though I didn t get caught
I know in my mind I commited no crime
Still by some fluke
I might be serving time, Oh No!!
[Chorus A]
It s not the crime
And it s not the thought
It s not the deed
N.C.
It s if you get caught
[Verse]
I got some friends
Who like to stay high
Think of, the tax potential
If it was legal to buy
But instead the heat is forced
To bust on victimless crimes
It s a low class bust
For nickels and dimes, Oh, Oh...
[Chorus A]
It s not the crime
And it s not the thought
It s not the deed
N.C.
It s if you get caught
[Verse]
Think of all them powerful cats
And how they got that way
Cause they sure the hell would not be there
Without the payoff game that s played
Think of what you could do
If it was you that was in their shoes
You either play the game
Or else you lose, bad news
[Chorus B]
It s not who s sold
It s not who s bought
And it s not the kickbacks
N.C.
It s if you get caught
[Chorus A]
It s not the crime
And it s not the thought
It s not the deed
N.C.
It s if you get caught
