I'm thinkin' 'bout you C G I ain't hurtin' nobody C I ain't hurtin' no one
C There's three hundred men
In the state of Tennessee F They're waiting to die
They won't never be free C G I ain't hurtin' nobody C I ain't hurtin' no one
G Six million seven hundred thousand F C And thirty-three lights on G You think someone could take the time F C To sit down and listen to the words of my song
C At the beach in Indiana
I was nine years old F Heard Little Richard singing "Tutti Frutti"
From the top of a telephone pole C G I wasn't hurtin' nobody C I wasn't hurtin' no one
C There's roosters laying chickens
And chickens layin' eggs F Farm machinery eating
People's arms and legs C G I ain't hurtin' nobody C I ain't hurtin' no one
G Perfectly crafted popular hit songs never use F C the wrong rhyme G You'd think that waitress could get my order F C Right the first time
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G C
C She's sitting on the back steps
Just shucking that corn F That gal's been grinning
Since the day she was born C G She ain't hurtin' nobody C She ain't hurtin' no one
C I used to live in Chicago
Where the cold wind blows F I delivered more junk mail
Than the junkyard would hold C G I wasn't hurtin' nobody C I wasn't hurtin' no one
G You can fool some of the people part of the time F C In a rock and roll song G Fifty million Elvis Presley Fans F C Can't be all wrong
C I'm walkin' down the street
Like Lucky Larue F Got my hand in my pocket, Baby
I'm thinkin' 'bout you C G I ain't hurtin' nobody C I ain't hurtin' no one
ENDING: C G I ain't hurtin' nobody C I ain't hurtin' no one
