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

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