[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G]

[Verse 1]
[Gm]Dear
Officer
Norris, is that really your name?
Why [D]do [C]all you police[Gm]men
[C]all look just the same?
With [D]your big heavy pistols
and your bullets galore
I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
[Bm]You [Gm]read us our right[G]s,
[Gm]but you read them too fast
Of[C]ficer
Norris, would you please kiss
my as[Bb]s?[C][Gm][G]
[Gm]Officer[G]
[Gm]Nor [G]ris,
[D]Officer
Norris
[C]Get dow[Am]n on you[G]r knees
Oh, ease [Gm]thou, [G]oh, ease thou
We should[Gm]n't have tried
To go [C]down to
Colum[Am]bus,
[C]Georgia
We was so fried
And [D]the police, get you
If you look strange at night
If you're wearing polyester
double knit
You're all right
But we only had [G]blue jeans,
our eyes [Gm]was red
[C]Said [Am]they [C]knew that [Am]we was a[C]wful,
[Am]all the good folks was in [G]bed
But what [Gm]do they [G]know,
[D]what do they know
They [C]don't know [Bb]everything
[D][G][Gm][G][C]
[D]
No [Gm]sheets on the bed,
[G]just a blanket [Gm]of blue
If [Bb]I was[Am] you[C]r mam[Am]a,
[C]I'd [Am]run out on y[C]ou
Were [D]you in
Korea and
Vietnam too, or did you learn in
college like the young police?
Do you [G]learn how to use handcuffs, time your [Gm]own breaks,
getting [C]free cups of coffee, free
[Am]coffee [C]cakes [D]from middle -aged women
that's already mar[Bm]ried
[D]middle -aged women that's
already mar[Bm]ried
[D]Off[G]icer[Gm]
[G]Norris, is that really [Gm]your name?
[Am]Why [C]do all you policemen
[Gm]all [C]look just the same
With [D]your big heavy pistols
and your bullets galore
I bet your feet are just as flat as the floor
You [Gm]read [G]us our rights,
but you read them [Gm]too fast
Of[C]ficer
Norris, would you please kiss my ass
[Gm]Officer
[G]Norris,
[D]Officer
[C]Norris
Get [Am]down on [G]your [Gm]knees[G]
Yeah, yeah!
[G]That sound [Bb]alright?[G]
This is called
Christian
Lady
Talkin' on the
[G]Bus
Because I was riding the bus up this
street one day to
Justin
Lane [G]and the
bus didn't go that far so I got
off the bus.
Yeah something like that by the
DPS
and I was hitchhiking and this car that started
to pick me up got hit by another
car and so they got out and they started
yelling at each other and then they
started looking at me.
And it's like, man, I did,
I was just doing that, you know.
And
plus, the place I was going to, my friend's parents passed by,
and I'd never seen them
and they'd never seen me,
but they knew I was going to their son's house, because he
as a musician [G]also.
This is a long story, anyway, this song kind of...
