(intro)

My life's in jeopardy
Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
I ain't been home since Friday night and now my wife is comin' after me
Give me police protection,
ss4
Gonna buy a gun so I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard, a black belt Judo expert
With a machine gun.
(repeat intro)
Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane
When she catches up with me won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman and that's enough
To send her half insane
Gonna buy a fast car, put on my lead boots and take a long, long drive
D Dsus4 D G F#....
I may end up spending all my money, but I'll still be alive.
All I did was have a bit too much to drink
m
And I picked the wrong precinct
Got picked up by the law and now I ain't got time to think.

(horn for guitar)
(repeat second verse)
And I'm oh, so tired of running
Gonna lay down on the floor
I gotta rest sometime
So I can get to run some more, yeah!
She's comin'
She's comin'
