The Yella In Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I w[C]as [C#]stro[D]llin' down[G]
the sidewalk with my girl by [C]my [G]side
[C]When [G]a great big hunk a
fella' came and pushed me aside
[C]I said "hey Bud I spose you[G] thi[F]nk
[C]it's some kind of [F]joke"
[C]The [G]next thing I remember he
was jumpin' [C]on my throat
[G]Wit[D]h my las[G]t few breaths I said, "hey,
[C]Bud can't [F]you [C]see"[F][C]
"That [G]you started bringin' out the yella
in [D]me"[G][C][G][C][G][C][C#]
[D]
Now this [G]fella [C]rose [G]above me
[C]and he [G]started to grin
So I used what [C]little strength I had
[G]and stuck one on his [C]chin
He tore off the arm that did [F]it
[C]and he threw it [F]aside[C]
And [G]for a [C]while [G]I lost the sight
[C]in [G]both of my eyes
I did[D]n't [G]have to [D]say [G]a word
my [C]girlfriend [F]could [C]see
That this [G]fella started bringing out the yella
in [D]me[G][C][G][F][C][G][C][C#]
[D]
Now, I [G]had to [C]show this [G]fel[C]la
that [G]I couldn't be beat
So I tried to make a stand there
while I still had my feet
[C]I think I mad[F]e the wro[C]ng move
[F]and [C]his patience [F]wore [C]thin[G]
[F]'Cause it [C]too[G]k three sur[C]geo[G]ns day
and [C]night [G]to graft back my [C]skin
About [D]this time [G]I was s[D]houtin'
[G]from the top[C] of the[F] tre[C]e[F]
That [C]this [G]fella started bringin' out the
yella in [D]me[G][C][G][C][G][C][C#]
[D]
My advice [G]to you [C]my [G]friend [C]is
that if [G]you [C]ever [G]see[C]
A fel[G]la [C]walkin' down the street
[G]and he's six [C]foot [G]three[C]
Be sure to [F]try and [C]pass [F]him [C]walk on
down the other [F]side[C][G][F]
[G]'Cause if you [C]don't he'll
[G]leave [C]you in [G]a state of suicide
I [D]just [G]didn't listen look
what [C]happened [F]to [C]me
[F]Now thi[C]s fel[G]la's finished bringin' out
