[Verse]
G C
If I were you, then I would gladly
D/F# G
loan to me a dollar or two
D/F# C
So I could eat, and maybe get
DD/F# G
Just one good night of sleep
C
But I'm not, and I'm stranded
D/F# G
Like a castaway in this town
C D/F#
And you seem so unwilling
G C
To help a fellow when he's down
G D/F# G
If I were you, that's what I'd do
G C D
If I were you, I wouldn't be out on these streets
G
The whole night through
D/F# C
Yeah, I'd have a job and a pretty wife
D/F# G
That I could come home to
C D/F#
But I don't, and I have twenty cents
G
Left to my name
C D/F#
And you're the only one left here
G C
That I have to blame
G D/F# G
If I were you, That's what I'd do
[Bridge]
G C D/F#
Sir, it's not like me to take from you
G
Things I haven't earned
C D/F#
I wish I could go back
G D/F# G
And need the lessons I have learned
C
But I can't, so you'll gladly
D/F# G
Put your money in this sack
C D/F#
Yes Sir, this thing is loaded
G C
And I have the hammer back
G D/F# G
If I were you, that's what I'd do
C G D/F#
If I were you, that's what to do
G C
If I were you, then I would gladly
