Song :E
Intro:
A

Am G# Am
Why must you record my phone calls?
G# Am
Are you planning a bootleg LP?
Am G# Am
You Said you've been threatened by gangsters
D C E7
Now it's you that's threatening me.

Am G# Am
Can't fight corruption with con tricks,
G# Am
They use the law to commit crime.
G# Am
And I dread, dread to think, what the future will bring,
C G E7
When we're living in gangster time.

Don't call me Scarface

Bridge :
A

Guitar :

Am G# Am
Am G# Am
Am G# Am
D C E7

Am G# Am
Don't interrupt while I'm talking,
G# Am
Or they'll confiscate all your guitars,
G# Am
A catch 22 says, if I sing the truth
c G E7
They won't make me an overnight star.

Am G#
Don't offer us legal protection,
Am G#
They use the law to commit crime.
G# Am
And I dread, to think, what the future will bring,
C G E7
When we're living in real gangster time.

Bernie Rhodes knows; don't argue!

Outro :
A
