D
If I were you
G               A           D
I would gladly loan to me a dollar or two
           A       G              A                 D
So I could eat and maybe get just one good night of sleep
        D
But I'm not
           G             A                D
And I'm stranded like a castaway in this town
     G             A                D                G
And you seem so unwilling to help a fellow when he's down
           D  A
If I were you
                D
That's what I'd do

THE WHOLE BAND FROM HED :

[Verse 2]
           D
If I were you
            G              A                       D
I wouldn't be out on the streets the whole night through
           A            G              A                 D
I'd have a job, and a pretty wife that I could come home to
       D
But I don't
    G              A               D
And I have twenty cents left to my name
    G             A              D              G
And your the only one left here, that I have to blame
           D  A
If I were you
                D
That's what I'd do

[Bridge]
             G             A                    D
You see It´s not my way to take from you, the things I haven't earned
  G               A                   D
I wish I could go back and heed, the lessons I have learned

[Verse 3]
      D
But I can't
           G              A             D
So you'll gladly put your money in this sack
    G                       A            D               G
And yes sir, this things is loaded and I have the hammer back
           D  A
If I were you
                D  G
That´s what I'd do
           D  A
If I were you
                D
That´s what I'd do
