If The Law Dont Want You

Tom : C
D5 C
I love to see them straw dogs 'round my door
D5 C
Come sneaking 'round my skirt tail looking for more
G D5
If you ain't running from the past, you ain't making my heart beat fast
Bb G
You ain't chugging your paycheck, you ain't hugging on my neck
D5 C
Well, I've been looking for trouble from the git
D5 C
Them cowboys back where I come from won't quit
G D5
Cutting up tires on an oyster shell, siren screaming and he's running like hell
Bb G
Momma's on the front porch staring him down, ladies at the beauty shop coming unwound

[Chorus]
C G C
If the law don't want you, neither do I
G D5 F
I ain't got no time to waste my shine on a puppet with a clip-on tie
C G C C Bb Bb C C
If the law don't want you, neither do I

[Bridge]
Bb C
I hired that boy to cut my grass, nailed down a shingle but it couldn't get past
Bb G
Staring at the bottom of his low-slung pants, says he's gonna take me to the big buck dance
C G C
If the law don't want you, neither do I

[Instrumental]
  D5   Bb     G     C     D5      C
I used to run wild down in Mexi- co
D5 C
Hair jacked up and necklines plunging low
G D5
Some snake hip shirt rip giving me lip, rifling my purse and stealing my tips
Bb G
There's something 'bout a man can affect that lean, keeping his hat all yanked down mean
C G C
If the law don't want you, neither do I
G Dm F
Play born to lose and you light my fuse, I'm a sucker for a bald-faced lie
C G C Bm Am
If the law don't want you, neither do I
C G C/Bb
If the law don't want you, neither do I
