F             Dm     G7         C7
  I asked my father, for some advice
F               Dm     G7                 C7
  He answered quickly, he didn't think twice
F             Dm        G7              C7
  He said a thinkin man, don't do too much
F                    Dm      G7               C7
  Know what you're doing, and do as you must

[Chorus]
                F        Dm
And learn to be rude, and reckless

You have to be hard, and callous
G7                        C7
   In your heart, and your hands
             F           Dm
Learn to be rude, and reckless
G7                  C7
   It'll make you a man
