C  G  Am  F


[Verse]
C                   G            Am          F
Well I'm ragged I'm rich and I'm due South of reckless
         C           G          Am  F
Pissin' off all the locals a skosh
          C           G            Am          F
Cause I'm blazin' a trail  haulin' ass out of hell
        C            G            Am  F
to the backlots and highways I know
C                   G          Am       F
Well I'm probably wanted in seventeen counties
       C          G        Am          F
by the Feds In Sedans to Gump County Mounties
  C             G         Am        F
I ain't slowin' down I got places to go
  C              G           Am          F
I ain't much on rock but I'm feelin' the roll


[Chorus]
     C  G          Am  F
Cause I'm Above the Law
         C             G       Am                 F
Hey dont miss me dont kiss me damn sure dont give me
           C  G
one phone call
     C  G           Am  F
Cause I'm Above the Law
     C            G         Am      F              C  G
If I dont slow it down I'll be underground before long

C  G  Am  F


[Verse]
        C         G         Am            F
I been makin' my moves too quick and too soon
        C          G             Am  F
Can you find me a place to lay low
         C        G             Am      F
Cause to my disadvantage I went into a frantic
       C            G           Am  F
and I got no place else left to go
         C           G        Am            F
I get it up and get gone two shots and it's on
         C             G        Am  F
guns'll always get you out of a jam
        C         G              Am           F
Hey get out of my way  Well I've had quite a day
      C           G             Am  F
Just look at the shape that I'm In.


[Chorus]
     C  G            Am  F
Cause I'm Above the Law
          C            G            Am            F
Hey dont miss me dont kiss me damn sure dont give me
            C  G
one phone call
      C  G          Am  F
Cause I'm Above the Law
      C            G        Am       F              C  G
If I dont slow it down I'll be underground before long

C  G  Am  F


[Bridge]
           C           G             Am
When the whiskey goes down it goes straight
        F             C        G           Am          F
to the sences and it gets you numb and it gets you pretentious
       C             G            Am       F
When you've got the time and the money to blow.
      C          G                Am        F
Dont sit on the porch  you gotta get up and go.


[Verse]
      C        G             Am          F
I'm makin' my rounds  tryna just see it all
          C        G              Am          F
From the boys of Detroit to Little Rock  Arkansas
     C            G             Am            F
Hey dont fence me In cause you know I'll bust out
     C            G             Am         F
I'm puttin' it to rest and I'm leavin' no doubt.


[Chorus]
     C  G           Am  F
Cause I'm Above the Law
          C           G            Am             F
Hey dont miss me dont kiss me damn sure dont give me
            C  G
one phone call
     C  G           Am  F
Cause I'm Above the Law
      C            G        Am       F              C  G
If I dont slow it down I'll be underground before long
