Tuning: E A D G B E
If you play with a band use C instead of Am, Bass will play the A-root, will sound great.
Strum 16th patterns with lots of ghost notes, try to throw in some sus chords.
Original is in Eb, so transpose this +8 for playing to the original file.
[Intro]
C G C D7
[Verse]
GI broke the law last night
Commited a Acriminal and sexual act
She was on Amtop in this state
That's an immD7ediate Gpop
GAnd though I didn't get caught
I know in my Amind I commited no crime
Still by some Amfluke
I might be Dserving Gtime, DOh GNo!!
[Chorus A]
CIt's not the crime
GAnd it's not the thought
CIt's not the deed D7
N.C. G
It's if you get caught
[Verse]
GI got some friends
Who like to stay Ahigh
Think Amof, the tax potential
If Dit was Glegal to buy D
GBut instead the heat is forced
To Abust on victimless crimes
AmIt's a low class bust
For Dnickels and Gdimes, DOh, GOh...
[Chorus A]
CIt's not the crime
GAnd it's not the thought
CIt's not the deed D7
N.C. G
It's if you get caught
[Verse]
GThink of all them powerful cats
And Ahow they got that way
Cause they Amsure the hell would not be there
WithDout the Gpayoff game that's played
GThink of what you could do
If it was Ayou that was in their shoes
AmYou either play the game
Or else Dyou Glose, Dbad Gnews
[Chorus B]
CIt's not who's sold
GIt's not who's bought
CAnd it's not the kickbacks D7
N.C. G
It's if you get caught
[Chorus A]
CIt's not the crime
GAnd it's not the thought
CIt's not the deed D7
N.C. G
It's if you get caught
