Biography:
Parliament is an American funk band formed in the late 1960s by George Clinton as part of his Parliament-Funkadelic collective. Less rock-oriented than its sister act Funkadelic, Parliament drew on science-fiction and outlandish performances in their work. The band scored a number of Top 10 hits, including the million-selling 1976 single "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)", and Top 40 albums such as Mothership Connection (1975). Clinton dissolved the band in the early 1980s.

[Verse 1]
F
Here I am riding along in this ambulance
Bb
To the city jail
Bb
Going to jail accused of being a peeping tom
F
Dammit man, I'm saying
F
Any man would try to find out if his girl
F
Was doing, doing him wrong
Bb
That's all I was doing there outside her home
[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
Bb Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
Bb F
And she did this to me
F
Mama said son you're going to fall
Eb
For that common cajun queen
F
She's going to take you for your all
Bb F
And that's what she done done to me

F
Cracked ribs, black eyes and a bloody nose
Bb
I've been victimized
Bb
I'm the victim of a one-sided circumstance
F
No one's heard my side
F
And when you hear my side, you'll see the rotten trick
F
She pulled on me
Bb
How could she, that I loved, do this to me?
[Chorus]

Oh, I'm a little old country boy

[Verse 3]
F
Lately, she's been acting fishy all the time
Bb
Just like tonight
Bb
When we kissed goodnight she pulled away from me
F
So I hid from sight
F
Out of sight by her door, I heard her give her love
F
To another guy
Bb
I guess the guy must have heard me cry
Bb
He rushed to the door
F
That's when I screamed, "Oh lord!"
[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
Bb F
And she did this to me

Mama said son you're going to fall
Bb Eb
For that common cajun queen
F
She's going to take you for your all
Bb F
And that's what she done done to me
[Verse 4]
F
Talk about surprised at her, when she screamed to him
Bb
It's a peeping tom--then he beat me up
Bb
I took the beating but I felt more hurt when she called the cops
F
Spitting on twelve months!
Bb
Twelve months of loving that girl ain't my idea of a peeping tom
Bb
So officer, please let me go, 'cause I've done no wrong
[Chorus]
F
Oh, I'm a little old country boy
Bb Eb
Just a young'un in my teens
F
I don't gamble, drink or swear
Bb F
And she did this to me

She's going to take you for your all
Bb F
And that's what she done done to me
