F#
[Chorus]
F# F#7
I am a back door man,
F# F#7
I am a back door man,
F#
Well the men don't know,
F#
But the little girls understand.
[Verse 1]
F#
When everybody's sound asleep,
F#
I'm somewhere making my midnight creep,
F#
Yes in the morning, the rooster crow,
F#
Something tells me I got to go.
[Chorus]
F# F#7
I am a back door man,
F# F#7
I am a back door man,
F#
Well the men don't know,
F#
But the little girls understand.
[Verse 2]
F#
They take me to the doctor,
F#
Shot full o' holes,
F#
Nurse cried, please save the soul,
F#
Killed him for murder, first degree,
F#
Judge's wife cried, let the man go free.
[Chorus]
F# F#7
I am a back door man,
F# F#7
I am a back door man,
F#
Well the men don't know,
F#
But the little girls understand.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F#
When everybody’s trying to sleep,
F#
I’m somewhere making my midnight dream,
F#
Every morning the rooster crows,
F#
Something tells me I got to go.
[Outro]
F# F#7
I am a back door man,
F# F#7
I am a back door man,
F# F#7
I am a back door man,
F#
I am a back door man.
