Intro: EE I am a back door man E I am a back door man G7 E Well the men don't know, but the little girls understandVerse 1:
E When everybody's tryin' to sleep E I'm somewhere making my midnight creep G7 E Every morning, when the rooster crow G7 E Something tell me, I got to goE I am a back door man E I am a back door man G7 E G7 E Well the men don't know, but the little girls understandVerse 2:

E Stand out there E Cop's wife cried, don't take him down E Rather be dead, six feets in the ground E When you come home you can eat pork and beans G7 E I eats mo' chicken, any man seen
