(Intro: Blues)
EC#7F#7B7E
[E]I dont gamble, I dont fight,[E7]
[A]I dont be hangin in the bars at night;[F#7]
Yeah, I [E]used to be a fig[C#7]hter, but now I[F#7] am a wis[B7]er man[E]
[E]I dont drink, much, I dont smo[E7]ke,
[A]I dont hardly mess around with no dope;[F#7]
Yeah, I [E]used to be a pro[C#7]blem, but now I[F#7] am a car[B7]eful man[E][E7]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jim_croce/careful_man_crd_ver_2.html )
(Chorus)
But if you used[A] to wanna see a commotion,
You shouldve se[E]en the man that I used to be;
I was troubl[A]e in perpetual motion,
[F#7]Trouble with a capital T[B7]
Stayin [E]out late, havin fun,[E7]
And shot off eve[A]ry single shot in my gun;[F#7]
Yeah, I [E]used to be a lov[C#7]er but n[F#7]ow I am an older[B7] man[E]
(2nd end for chorus)
Yeah, I used to be a terror, but now I am a tired man
I didn't tab out the intro, but I'll work on it. This is a fun blues to play with that
Croce irony. --Best, Mo Love
