Careful Man
Jim Croce
(Intro: Blues)
E—C#7—F#7—B7—E
E E7
I don’t gamble, I don’t fight,
A F#7
I don’t be hangin’ in the bars at night;
E C#7 F#7 B7 E
Yeah, I used to be a fighter, but now I am a wiser man
E E7
I don’t drink, much, I don’t smoke,
A F#7
I don’t hardly mess around with no dope;
E C#7 F#7 B7 E E7
Yeah, I used to be a problem, but now I am a careful man
(Chorus)
A
But if you used to wanna see a commotion,
E
You should’ve seen the man that I used to be;
A
I was trouble in perpetual motion,
F#7 B7
Trouble with a capital “T”
E E7
Stayin’ out late, havin’ fun,
A F#7
And shot off every single shot in my gun;
E C#7 F#7 B7 E
Yeah, I used to be a lover but now I am an older man
(2nd end for chorus)
Yeah, I used to be a terror, but now I am a tired man
I didn't tab out the intro, but I'll work on it. This is a fun blues to play with that
Croce irony. --Best, Mo Love
