If The Law Dont Want You

  D5                                    C
I love to see them straw dogs 'round my door
     D5                                        C
Come sneaking 'round my skirt tail looking for more
   G                                D5
If you ain't running from the past, you ain't making my heart beat fast
Bb                                G
You ain't chugging your paycheck, you ain't hugging on my neck

      D5                                     C
Well, I've been looking for trouble from the git
     D5                                   C
Them cowboys back where I come from won't quit
G                                    D5
Cutting up tires on an oyster shell, siren screaming and he's running like hell
Bb                                           G
Momma's on the front porch staring him down, ladies at the beauty shop coming unwound

[Chorus]

       C                   G          C
If the law don't want you, neither do I
                       G                   D5                    F
I ain't got no time to waste my shine on a puppet with a clip-on tie
           C               G          C   C Bb Bb C C
If the law don't want you, neither do I

[Bridge]

  Bb                              C
I hired that boy to cut my grass, nailed down a shingle but it couldn't get past
Bb                                            G
Staring at the bottom of his low-slung pants, says he's gonna take me to the big buck dance
       C                   G          C
If the law don't want you, neither do I

[Instrumental]

D5   D5   Bb   Bb   G   G   G   C

  D5                             C
I used to run wild down in Mexi- co
D5                                    C
Hair jacked up and necklines plunging low
     G                                  D5
Some snake hip shirt rip giving me lip, rifling my purse and stealing my tips
        Bb                                          G
There's something 'bout a man can affect that lean, keeping his hat all yanked down mean

       C                   G          C
If the law don't want you, neither do I
                          G                    Dm                      F
Play born to lose and you light my fuse, I'm a sucker for a bald-faced lie
       C                   G          C Bm Am
If the law don't want you, neither do I
       C                   G          C/Bb
If the law don't want you, neither do I
