Careful Man
(Intro: Blues)
EC#7F#7B7E
E E7
I dont gamble, I dont fight,
A F#7
I dont be hangin in the bars at night;
E C#7 F#7 B7 E
Yeah, I used to be a fighter, but now I am a wiser man
E E7
I dont drink, much, I dont smoke,
A F#7
I dont hardly mess around with no dope;
E C#7 F#7 B7 E7
Yeah, I used to be a problem, but now I am a careful man

(Chorus)
A
But if you used to wanna see a commotion,
E
You shouldve seen the man that I used to be;
A
I was trouble in perpetual motion,
F#7 B7
Trouble with a capital T
E E7
Stayin out late, havin fun,
A F#7
And shot off every single shot in my gun;
E C#7 F#7 B7 E
Yeah, I used to be a lover but now I am an older man
(2nd end for chorus)
Yeah, I used to be a terror, but now I am a tired man
I didn't tab out the intro, but I'll work on it. This is a fun blues to play with that
Croce irony. --Best, Mo Love
