Its Not Ok


Guitars tuned down a half step so Eb, Bb, Gb, Db, Ab, eb, No capo. There seems to be a rhythm part over the chorus that's got a reggae feel, upstroke on every offbeat. Intro G C G D G C G D G G A man was bothering me today and I C wanted to tell him to go away G D But I stood and listened to him anyway, okay. G He said he didn't want to shoot that man C And it was his thing and I wouldn't understand G D G And he had done all that he can, okay. Break (Repeat Intro chords) G I guess his body was as good as mine C And just like me he was wasting time G D Turning over every stone to see what he could find, okay. G He was filling his tank and he asked for money C I lied and said I didn't have any G D G Then my conscious took over and I gave him a hand full of change. C G Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing. D G Stay right there. C G You'll lie there. You'll lie there D C G You don't seem to care Break (repeat intro chords) G I know its hard to survive in the city C When the beautiful days don't look so pretty G D And you don't have windows to keep the night away, okay. G He was dirty and stinky and just a bit crude C But I didn't say that because that's kind of rude G D G And he didn't care what I had to say in the first place, okay. Break (repeat intro chords) G C I wanted to say you're a big disgrace to the world, yourself, and the human race G D And reach back and pop him one good time in the face, okay. G No its not okay and I didn't do that C G D But I gave him a smile and tipped my hat and told him to have a very nice G rest of the day C G Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing. D G Stay right there. C G You'll lie there. You'll lie there D C G You don't seem to care Break for solos (intro chords) G Guess he bought some booze or shit C G And sure that bothers me a little bit but it's his life and I can't tell him D how to live it G C As he turned and started to go his way I tried to think of something wise to (Stop playing for a pause) say like... Just on the bass notes leading up to the C play A,Bb,B,C, listen to the song for it. C G Don't do a thing. Don't do a thing. D G Stay right there. C G You'll lie there. You'll lie there D C G You don't seem to care C G You'll die there, you'll die there D C G You don't seem to care
