Give me your money, your watches and [C] rings. [Instrumental] [C] Verse 3: [C] Well, I called New York and talked to that brain quack And said [F] Doc I gotta have my old brain back He said I'm [G] sorry there, Mr. Cash, but I can't do [C] that [G] He said I [C] put your brain in a chicken last Monday He's [F] singing your songs and makin' lots of money And I [G] got him signed to a ten-year recording [C] contract [G] [C] Now friends if you see me walkin' down the street Remember [F] what you see ain't necessarily me And if I [G] try to hold you up, don't pay me no [C] mind [G] But when you [C] got ten bucks that you can blow You oughta [F] catch that Johnny Chicken show He's doin' [G] fairs and concert dates all up and down the [C] line [Chorus] [Outro] [G] Well, I don't pay any income tax... You don't pay tax on money you steal... You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show... Chicken In Black! Hmmmmmmmm!
