INTRO  Em A 


     
verse 1 
       Em       A         Em      A 
I was poor born,  out in tin town 
     Em                        A 
I'd sing along with Jerry Lee records 
                  Em       A 
Trying to get my moves down 
        Em   A         Em      A 
I was skinny,   I was big-nosed 
    Em                      A 
The only thing I had on my mind 
                        Em         A 
Was trying to do the "please don't" 

     A                 A           A 
I'm pissed off, pissed off, pissed off 
                    Em  A 
It's just the way I am 


Em  A 

verse 2 
       Em    A          Em        A 
I was wasted,    I was dumb-struck 
     Em                       A 
I'd wake up in the bottom of something 
                   Em        A 
Being loaded in a dump truck 
      Em       A         Em      A 
I was so gone,    I was dead-eyed 
             Em                       A 
I've been screaming at the top of my lungs 
       Em  A 
Since 1965 

     A                 A           A 
I'm pissed off, pissed off, pissed off 
                    Em  A 
It's just the way I am 


verse 3 
           Em        A           Em       A 
I've been rocked out,   I can't cool down 
            Em                        A 
I've got a woman who still makes me crazy 
                       Em        A 
With the shake of her nightgown 
           Em     A                Em   A 
I'm still nervous,   I ain't been broken 
            Em                    A 
I'm still churning and burning inside 
                  Em     A 
And I can't stop smokin' 
 
     A                 A           A 
I'm pissed off, pissed off, pissed off 
                    Em  A 
It's just the way I am
