Intro 
G C G D 
G C G D G 

G 
A man was bothering me today and I 
C 
wanted to tell him to go away 
G                                             D 
But I stood and listened to him anyway, okay. 
G 
He said he didn't want to shoot that man 
C 
And it was his thing and I wouldn't understand 
G                           D       G 
And he had done all that he can, okay. 

Break (Repeat Intro chords) 

G 
I guess his body was as good as mine 
C 
And just like me he was wasting time 
G                                                         D 
Turning over every stone to see what he could find, okay. 
G 
He was filling his tank and he asked for money 
C 
I lied and said I didn't have any 
G                                 D                        G 
Then my conscious took over and I gave him a hand full of change. 

C                 G 
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing. 
D                 G 
Stay right there. 
C                  G 
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there 
D         C       G 
You don't seem to care 

Break (repeat intro chords) 

G 
I know its hard to survive in the city 
C 
When the beautiful days don't look so pretty 
G                                                       D 
And you don't have windows to keep the night away, okay. 
G 
He was dirty and stinky and just a bit crude 
C 
But I didn't say that because that's kind of rude 
G                                           D                G 
And he didn't care what I had to say in the first place, okay. 

Break (repeat intro chords) 

G                                            C 
I wanted to say you're a big disgrace to the world, yourself, and the human race 
G                                                       D 
And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okay. 
G 
No its not okay and I didn't do that 
      C                                      G                    D 
But I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and told him to have a very nice 
               G 
rest of the day 

C                 G 
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing. 
D                 G 
Stay right there. 
C                  G 
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there 
D         C       G 
You don't seem to care 

Break for solos (intro chords) 

G 
Guess he bought some booze or shit 
    C                                     G 
And sure that bothers me a little bit but it's his life and I can't tell him 
              D 
how to live it 
      G                                  C 
As he turned and started to go his way I tried to think of something wise to 
    
say like... 


C                 G 
Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing. 
D                 G 
Stay right there. 
C                  G 
You'll lie there.  You'll lie there 
D         C       G 
You don't seem to care 
C                 G 
You'll die there, you'll die there 
D         C       G 
You don't seem to care
