G 
Go out yonder, peace in the valley
G
Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley
D                            E   G   
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

G
Has anybody seen my lady
G
This living alone will drive me crazy
D                            E   G
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

C            G                 Em  Dm
I'm gonna go down by  the water
C                 G              Em  Dm
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
C            G                   Em  Dm        
I'll just be looking for my maker
F               D7
And I hear that that's where she's been? Oh!

G
Out of nine lives, I spent seven
G
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven
D                            E   G
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

C            G                         Em  Dm
I just spent sixty days in the jailhouse
C                G              Em  Dm
For the crime of having no dough
C             G                    Em  Dm
Now here I am back out on the street
F                       D7
For the crime of having nowhere to go

G
Save your neck or save your brother
G
Looks like it's one or the other
D                            E   G
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

G
Now two young kids might start a ruckus
G
You know they feel you trying to shuck us
D                            E   G
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
