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

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