[Verse]
G5 Bb5
Well it's 4 in the mornin’ and the police man
F5 G5
Said son you can't sleep in the depot
G5 Bb5
I'd get coffee but I'm broke so I roll me a smoke
F5 G5
And ease out among the morning people
G5 Bb5
Step up to the newsstand talkin’ to the paper man
F5 G5
Talkin’ to the old street sweeper
G5 Bb5
When the neon lights showed my face
F5 G5
All over the early morning paper
[Chorus]
Bb5 F5
It said wanted for robbing a grocery store
C5 G5
Disguised as a little old lady
G5
He's a bad piece of vermin
Bb5
It's your money he's after
F5 G5
Consider him armed and crazy

Nobody ever showed me no pity
