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