Dreadful Selfish Crime

G            Em       G      Em
  Seems like yesterday I was here
G             Em       G             Em
  Dreamin' my life away and drinkin' beer
C                     C                 G  Em  G  Em
  Staying up till dawn strummin' on guitars
C                      C                       G  Em  G  Em
  Sleepin' all day long just like the big rock stars
D                 C               G  Em  G  Em
  Barely livin' on money from tip jars


[Verse 2]
G                Em   G            Em
  I had a little place just up the block
G          Em               G                   Em
  Had me a French girlfriend I loved the way she talked
C                        C              G  Em  G  Em
  We spent our afternoons watchin' the TV
C                     C                      G  Em  G  Em
  Findin' things to do that we could do for free
D                          C                        G  Em  G  Em
  When we split up she said you don't do enough for me


[Chorus]
C                 D                 G  C  D  G
  I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
C                    D                   G  Em  G  Em
  I had robbed myself of all my precious time


[Verse 3]
G        Em            G               Em
  Had my first gig here in the neighborhood
G                 Em  G              Em
  We had a little band I thought was good
C                      C                G  Em  G  Em
  Hocked my old shotgun bought a used P.A.
C                      C                  G  Em  G  Em
  We got a quart of rum drank it all that day
D                      C                         G  Em  G  Em
  When the big gig come we were just to drunk to play


[Chorus]
C               D                   G  C  D  G
  I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
C                    D                   G  Em  G  Em
  I had robbed myself of all my precious time
C               D                   G  C  D  G
  I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
C                    D                   G  Em  G  Em
  I had robbed myself of all my precious time

[Verse 4]
G             Em           G               Em
  Sometimes I can't believe those days are gone
G            Em               G            Em
  Most of my friends back then have moved along
C                   C                   G  Em  G  Em
  One's in Hollywood one's a millionaire
C                       C                 G  Em  G  Em
  Some are gone for good some still livin' here
G  Em                    G          Em
     Me I'm just the same lost in a crowd
G             Em      G             Em
  Lookin' for the rain in a thunder cloud
C                    C                      G  Em  G  Em
  I have moved around but it don't matter though
C                       C                       G  Em  G  Em
  One thing I have found there are just two ways to go
D                  C                        G  Em  G  Em
  It all comes down to livin' fast or dyin' slow


[Chorus]
C               D                   G  C  D  G
  I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
C                    D                   G  Em  G  Em
  I had robbed myself of all my precious time
C               D                   G  C  D  G
  I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime
C                    D                   G  Em  G  Em
  I had robbed myself of all my precious time
