Written by Ken Barry/Joe Jr. Bentley

	  		



st FRET 

Intro: 



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
