A Cautionary Tale

[Intro] Dm

[Janis]

           Dm      F       C
It's a cautionary tale of fear and lust and pride
           C      Gm           Bb    Dm
Based on actual events where people died

[Damian]

No one died
Dm                    F

         C

Would you resist temptation?

[Janis]

Bb             Dm
No, you would not!
Dm
Just admit it

[Both]

           Bb               F
Sometimes mean is what you are
           A         Dm
Mean is easier than nice
            Bb                F
And though mean can take you far
       A
Maybe this will make you think twice

And getting hit by a bus!

[Janis]

Bb               A              Dm         F       Gm
You can't buy integrity at the mall, it's not for sale
