Careful Man Jim Croce
(Intro: Blues)
E C#7 F#7 B7 E C red Mark K clean rev
E E7
I don't gamble, I don't fight,
A7 F#7
I don't be hangin' in the bars at night;
E7 C#7 F#7 B7 E B7
Yeah, I used to be a fighter, but now I am a wiser man
E E7
I don't drink much, I don't smoke,
A7 F#7
I don't hardly mess around with no dope;
E7 C#7 F#7 B7 E B7
Yeah, I used to be a problem, but now I am a careful man
(Chorus in barr chords)
A7
But if you used to wanna to see a commotion,
E7
You should've seen the man that I used to be;
A7
I was trouble in perpetual motion,
F#7 B7
Trouble with a capital 'T'
E E7
Stayin' out late, havin' fun,
A7 F#7
And shot off every single shot in my gun;
E7 C#7 F#7 B7 E B7
Yeah, I used to be a lover, but now I am a older man
