Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
Billy Cole  (C major) was a small man
D 
and he drank  (D major) at the Gator Bar.
G 
His  (G major) pleasure was minding
his own business
C 
and sippin' from a mason jar.  (C major) 
All his habits were a mystery,
D 
but  (D major) everyone seemed to know.
G 
When  (G major) 9  p .m. rolled around,
C 
the Gator Bar would see Billy Cole.  (C major) 
One Saturday night, after dark,
D 
this dude  (D major) and his chick walked in
G 
Now the  (G major) guy was huge
and he had a big mouth,
he wanted to impress his friend
C 
 (C major) So he strolled to the bar
and singled out Billy
D 
and struck  (D major) him from behind
G 
The  (G major) small man folded and fell to the floor,
C 
still with an aching mind  (C major) 
The big man grinned and
yelled at the crowd
D 
as he pre (D major) tended to wipe off his hand
G 
Tell  (G major) that boy when he wakes up
that was judo from Japan
C 
D 
 (C major)  (D major) A short time later Billy Cole came too
E 
and he climbed  (E major) to the top of his stool
G 
He  (G major) knew about judo and karate from Korea
but his mama didn't raise no fool
D 
 (D major) So he stepped outside
and soon returned
E 
Walked  (E major) over to that giant in booth
G 
The  (G major) big man cringed then crumpled up
D 
It was Big Mouth's moment of truth  (D major) 
Billy Cole walked out the door
E 
To the  (E major) strains of the jukebox chords
G 
And he  (G major) said,
If and when that cat wakes up,
tell him that was a crowbar
from Montgomery Wards.
