VERSE:
G               G7
I'm a guy that likes his fun
     C                   Cm
And when I fight, you'd better run
       G           D             G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
G                    G7
I'm goin' down in a middle of town
     C                  Cm
I'm goin' to shoot the first man down
       G           D             G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


BREAK:
     C                              G
My skin is hard as leather I'm as tough as any man
 A                              D
When I have to shave myself, I use an old tin can


VERSE:
   G               G7               C                Cm
I wash my face in boilin' wax and scrub myself with gunny sacks
       G           D             G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


CHORUS:
     C                     G
I'm mean - I'm mean - I'm mean
       D                         G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
 G                     G7
Well, I was raised on tiger's milk
    C                      Cm
I drink corn liquor and I smoke corn silk
       G           D             G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
G                    G7
I chew up tin and I spit out nails
  C                  Cm
Sleep on snakes with ten-foot tails
       G           D             G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


BREAK:
    C
I started feelin' frisky
        G
And I danced the other night
   A                               D
I felt so good, I took my gun and shot out ev'ry light


VERSE:
          G               G7
Now the Sheriff said, get out off town
 C                Cm
Take him six feet under ground
       G           D             G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


CHORUS:
     C                     G
I'm mean - I'm mean - I'm mean
       D                        G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
G                         G7
I throwed my saddle on a grizzly bear
         C                         Cm
Then I crawled bare-handed in his mountain lair
       G           D             G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


VERSE:
G                    G7
I cut my hair on a choppin' block
     C                    Cm
And when I chopped, the mountains rocked
       G           D             G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


BREAK:
    C                                G
I tangled with a wild cat, just to prove that I was stout
         A
Reached down his throat and grabbed his tail, 
       D
Then turned him inside out


VERSE:
      G                  G7
Where I was raised, it's so darn tough
   C               Cm
I had to leave, it got so rough
       G           D             G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun


CHORUS:
     C                     G
I'm mean - I'm mean - I'm mean
       D                        G
I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
