U.S. Male

Tune guitar 1/2 step down (from low to high: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

A Bm
"I'm a U.S. Male 'cause I was born"
E A
"In a Mississippi town on a Sunday morn"
A7 D
"Now Mississippi just happens to occupy a place"
E A
"In the southeastern portion of this here United States"
A7
"Now that's a matter of fact, buddy"
D
"And you know it well"
E A7
"So I just call myself the U.S. Male"
A7
"That's M-A-L-E, son. That's me!"

Now I said all that to say all this
I've been watchin' the way
You've been watchin' my miss
For the last three weeks you been hot on her trail
And you kinda upset this U.S. Male
You touch her once with your greasy hands
I'm gonna stretch your neck like a long rubber band
She's wearin' a ring that I bought her on sale
And that makes her the property of this U.S. Male

D7 A7
You better not mess with the U.S. Male my friend
D7 A7
The U.S. Male gets mad, he's gonna do you in
D7 A7
You know what's good for yourself son
D7 A7
You better find somebody else son
Bm E7 A7
Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male

Through the rain and the heat and the sleet and the snow
The U.S. Male is on his toes
Quit watchin' my woman, for that ain't wise
You ain't pullin' no wool over this boy's eyes
I catch you 'round my woman, champ
I'm gonna leave your head 'bout the shape of a stamp
Kinda flattened out, so you'll do well
To quit playin' games with this U.S. Male

You better not mess with the U.S. Male my friend
The U.S. Male gets mad, he's gonna do you in
You know what's good for yourself son
You better find somebody else son
Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male

Sock it to me

All right...now I'm gonna tell it like it is son
I catch you messin' 'round with that woman of mine
I'm gonna lay one on ya. You're talkin' to the U.S. Male
The American U.S. Male
