VERSE:
G G7
I'm a guy that likes his fun
C Cm
And when I fight, you'd better run
G D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
VERSE:
G G7
I'm goin' down in a middle of town
C Cm
I'm goin' to shoot the first man down
G D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
BREAK:
C G
My skin is hard as leather I'm as tough as any man
A D
When I have to shave myself, I use an old tin can
VERSE:
G G7 C Cm
I wash my face in boilin' wax and scrub myself with gunny sacks
G D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
CHORUS:
C G
I'm mean - I'm mean - I'm mean
D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
VERSE:
G G7
Well, I was raised on tiger's milk
C Cm
I drink corn liquor and I smoke corn silk
G D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
VERSE:
G G7
I chew up tin and I spit out nails
C Cm
Sleep on snakes with ten-foot tails
G D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
BREAK:
C
I started feelin' frisky
G
And I danced the other night
A D
I felt so good, I took my gun and shot out ev'ry light
VERSE:
G G7
Now the Sheriff said, get out off town
C Cm
Take him six feet under ground
G D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
CHORUS:
C G
I'm mean - I'm mean - I'm mean
D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
VERSE:
G G7
I throwed my saddle on a grizzly bear
C Cm
Then I crawled bare-handed in his mountain lair
G D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
VERSE:
G G7
I cut my hair on a choppin' block
C Cm
And when I chopped, the mountains rocked
G D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
BREAK:
C G
I tangled with a wild cat, just to prove that I was stout
A
Reached down his throat and grabbed his tail,
D
Then turned him inside out
VERSE:
G G7
Where I was raised, it's so darn tough
C Cm
I had to leave, it got so rough
G D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
CHORUS:
C G
I'm mean - I'm mean - I'm mean
D G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
