Verse 1:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/l/love/10765.html ]
D C
Well I remember when you used to look so good
D C D C D C
And I did everything that I possibly could for you
D C
We used to ride around all over town
D C D C D C
But they're puttin' you down for bein' around with me
E G/D E
But you can go ahead if you want to
G/D E G A D C D C
'Cause I ain't got no papers on you
Verse 2:
In the middle of the summer I had a job bein' a plumber
Just to pass till the fall it was you I wanna ball all day
Ah-we were walkin' along, honey, hand in hand
I'm a-thinkin' of you, mama, when you're thinkin' of another man
But you can go ahead if you want to
'Cause I ain't got no papers on you
(No, I don't I ain't got no papers on myself)
Break ("Bo Diddley" beat):
D G D C D G D C

[repeat intro]
(guitar solo over D-C intro riff [8X])
Verse 3:
All alone on the bone when I didn't have a home
When I saw the way I was and I knew where I was supposed to be
I was twitchin' so I turned and it's really hard to learn
That everyone I saw was just another part of me
But you can go ahead if you want to
'Cause nobody's got no papers on you
(No, babe, it's just a falsehood)
[repeat break]
[repeat intro; end cold on D]
