[G][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[C]I'm the cop in [F]a little bitty town
And [G]I don't get much p[C]ay
[G]Oh, but [C]I caught seventeen
[F]out of state cars
[G]And four of my friends today
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]Yeah, I [C]let the ho[G]metown [F]boys go home
They [G]paid five dollars [C]bail
Oh, but all the drivers in
The [F]out of state cars [G]had to go to [C]jail[Am]
[G]Well, they

[Verse 3]
[C]hollered and [G]they moaned
And [F]they cried and they groaned
They [G]all swore that they'd [C]sue[G]
[C]But the judge was high and [F]so was I
And we [G]needed the money too
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
[G]Yeah, [C]the judge and me [G]got [F]a deal
You see we [G]split the money [C]fair
Except for thirty [G]percent
to the [F]county seat
To keep [G]the law out of our hair
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]And old Cha[C]rlie's working
[G]out [C]rea[F]l good
Down at the [G]corner store where
[C]The red light [G]is [C]he see[G]s
them [F]out of state
Plates two [G]blocks [C]away
And when they get right up on
[G]Top of that [Fm]green [F]light
[G]Old Charlie pushes that
secret [C]button
Underneath the [G]corner
[C]drugstore [F]counter
That yel[G]low light only lasts for
A [C]tenth of a second
[G]Oh, the

[Verse 6]
[C]county pays [G]me
about [F]forty a week
Ain't [G]that the living en[C]d
If it wasn't for them tourists in
Them [F]out of state cars
I'd [G]have no look to [C]spend
[G]But the way

[Verse 7]
[C]it stands this yea[F]r so far
I've [G]made a hundred [C]thou
For a high [G]school [F]dro
pout I'm a doin' fine
I make [G]more than the president now
[C]Of course he's hon[Am] est[G]

[Verse 8]
So [C]if you're driving [F]down the road
And [G]flashing lights you [C]see[G]
If [C]they're on a top of
[F]a red Rolls Royce
You can [G]bet your boots it's [C]me
[G]'Cause I'm

[Verse 9]
[C]the cop[G] in a l[F]ittle bitty town
And [G]I'd sure like [C]to see[G]

[G]Try to get by me
