[Verse 1]
C# F# Fm7 F#
Sam Bridges burned down to El Paso, chasing the sound of speed
G# A#m7 F#
Long and lean in tight blue jeans, singing baby you got what I need
G# C#
But leave me be, leave me be
[Verse 2]
C# F# Fm7 F#
A# king with his crown of cigar smoke, and a golden chevrolet
G# A#m7 F#
Boy could tell a dirty joke like a catholic cabaret
G# C#
But anyway, anyway
[Chorus]
F# G# C#
I don't recall what I saw Mr Policeman
F# G# C#
I couldn't say which way he might have gone
F# G# C# C#/C A#m7
Last I knew he was through with monkey business
F# G# C#
Please excuse me and I'll kindly move along
[Verse 3]
C# F# Fm7 F#
Sun come up all black and blue, sipping on bathtub gin
G# A#m7 F#
The holy ghost is tearing through, and he takes the moonlight with him
G# C#
Just play it cool, play it cool
[Chorus]
F# G# C#
I don't recall what I saw Mr Policeman
F# G# C#
I couldn't say which way he might have gone
F# G# C# C#/C A#m7
Last I knew he was through with monkey business
F# G# C#
Please excuse me and I'll kindly move along
