CHORUS
I'm the nightwatchman
I make the rounds
I'm the nightwatchman
I gotta keep my nose to the ground
VERSE 1
(play a variation between B and E the whole verse)
**there's a slide guitar playing in the background, but I can't make it out over the main guitar
Honey this ain't no job for a man like me
I got potential, I could be just what you need
You got to think about the pros and cons
You could be right, you could be wrong
CHORUS
(repeat both licks)
I'm the nightwatchman
I am security
I'm the nightwatchman
How safe do you wanna be?
VERSE 2
(repeat same chords as before)
I sit around at night and listen to the radio
If I get real bored I might have a little smoke
Yeah I got a permit to wear this .38
But listen my life's worth more than the minimum wage
A, G, A, E
Begin main lick again
CHORUS
I'm the nightwatchman
I make the rounds
I'm the nightwatchman
I gotta keep my nose to the ground
(E the whole way through till the end)
I'm the nightwatchman
I am security
I'm the nightwatchman
How safe do you wanna be?
I'm the nightwatchman (repeat 2x)
How safe do you wanna be?
