           Ab/Bb                       BbWell, your friends with their fancy persuasion

        Ab/Bb                   Bbdon't admit that it's part of a scheme,

      Ab/Bb                     Bbbut I can't help but have my suspicion

         Ab/Bb                    Bb'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.

        Ab/Bb                BbAnd you said you was never intendin'

          Ab/Bb               Bbbut there ain't any use in pretendin'
