[Verse 1]
A# D# Dm7 D#
Sam Bridges burned down to El Paso, chasing the sound of speed
F Gm7 D#
Long and lean in tight blue jeans, singing baby you got what I need
F A#
But leave me be, leave me be
[Verse 2]
A# D# Dm7 D#
G king with his crown of cigar smoke, and a golden chevrolet
F Gm7 D#
Boy could tell a dirty joke like a catholic cabaret
F A#
But anyway, anyway
[Chorus]
D# F A#
I don't recall what I saw Mr Policeman
D# F A#
I couldn't say which way he might have gone
D# F A# A#/A Gm7
Last I knew he was through with monkey business
D# F A#
Please excuse me and I'll kindly move along
[Verse 3]
A# D# Dm7 D#
Sun come up all black and blue, sipping on bathtub gin
F Gm7 D#
The holy ghost is tearing through, and he takes the moonlight with him
F A#
Just play it cool, play it cool
[Chorus]
D# F A#
I don't recall what I saw Mr Policeman
D# F A#
I couldn't say which way he might have gone
D# F A# A#/A Gm7
Last I knew he was through with monkey business
D# F A#
Please excuse me and I'll kindly move along
