ILLEGAL SMILE - John Prine (Key of D)
[Verse 1]
WGhen I woke up this mDorning, thCings were lookin' bGad
SCeems like total siGlence is the onDly friGend I have
A Dbowl of oatmeal trCied to stare me doGwn... aCnd wGon
And it was tDwelve o'clock before I reCalized that I was haGvin' nCo fGun
Ah, but Dfortunately GI have the key to eCscape rDealiGty
[Chorus]
And you may sCee me tonight with an ilGlegal smile
It don't cDost very much, but it laGsts a long while
Won't you pClease tell the man I didn't kGill anyone
No I'm jDust tryin' to hCave me some fGun
[Verse 2]
LGast time I checked my bDankroll, wellC it was gettin' tGhin
SCometimes it seems like the Gbottom is the oDnly pGlace I've been
ChDased a rainbow dCown a one-way stGreet... dCead eGnd
And aDll my friends turned Cout to be insGurance sCalesmGen
Ah, but Dfortunately GI have the key to eCscape rDealiGty
[Chorus]
And you may sCee me tonight with an ilGlegal smile
It don't cDost very much, but it laGsts a long while
Won't you pClease tell the man I didn't kGill anyone
No I'm jDust tryin' to hCave me some fGun
[Verse 3]
IG sat down in my cDloset with aCll my overaGlls
Just Ctryin' to get awayG from all the yDears insGide these walls
DDreamed the police hCeard everything I thGought... wChat tGhen?
Well ID went to court and the jCudge's name Gwas HCoffmGan
Ah, but Dfortunately GI have the key to eCscape rDealiGty
[Chorus]
And you may sCee me tonight with an ilGlegal smile
It don't cDost very much, but it laGsts a long while
Won't you pClease tell the man I didn't kGill anyone
No I'm jDust tryin' to hCave me some fGun
