This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

VERSE 1:

A A/Ab A/G F#

Now, lookie here momma let me explain ya this

A A/Ab A/G F#

If ya wanna get crooked I'll even give ya my fist

A A/Ab A/G F#

Ya might read from Rev-el-a-tion back to Genesi` `Genisis

B E A

Ya keep forget your Southern can belongs to me

CHORUS: (In the mornin')

A A/Ab A/G F#

So there ain't no use in bringin' no jive to me

B E A F#

Your Southern can is mine in the mornin'

B E A

Your Southern can belongs to me

VERSE 2:

Ya might go uptown, have me arrested, put in jail

Some hotshots got money, gonna pull my bail

Soon as I get out, hit the ground

Your Southern can is worth a thousand, half a pound

CHORUS (Talkin' about it)

VERSE 4:

You might take it from the south, baby, hide it up north

Understand you can't rule me or be my boss

Take it from the east, hide in the west

But when I get ya momma your can'll see no rest

CHORUS (I'm screamin')

VERSE 5:

A A7

Now baby, ashes to ashes, sand to sand

D D

When I hit ya momma then ya feel my hand

A A7

Give you a punch through that barbed wire fence

D

When I hit ya baby, ya know I make no sense

Now look here woman, don't get hot

I'm gettin' me a brick outta my backyard

VERSE 7:

Well, if I catch you momma down in the heart of town

I'm gonna grab me a brick and tear your can on down

CHORUS (I know it)

VERSE 8:

You may be deathbed sickness, baby, graveyard bound

I'm gonna make you moan like a graveyard hound

Baby,

CHORUS (I'm screamin')
