Intro 1
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 1
Uptown got it's hustlers (D major)
The bowery got it's bums (G major) (D major)
42nd street got big Jim walker
He's a pool shootin' son of a gun
Yeah, he big (G major) and dumb as a man can come
But he stronger than a country hoss
And when the bad (A major) folks all
get to (G major) gether at night
You know they (A major) all call big Jim boss, (G major)
just because
(D major) And they say
You don't tug (G major) on su (D major) perman's cape
You don't spit (G major) into the wind (D major)
You don't (G major) pull the mask off
that old lone ranger
And you (A major) don't mess around (G major) with Jim (D major) (A major)
Well outta south (D major) Alabama
came a country boy
He say I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
I am a pool shootin' boy
My name Willie McCoy
But down home they call (G major) me slim (D major)
Yeah I'm (G major) lookin' for the
king of 42nd street
He drivin' a drop top cadillac
Last week he (A major) took all my money
And it (G major) may sound funny
But I come (A major) to get my money back (G major)
And everybody say (D major) Jack don't you know
And you don't tug (G major) on
su (D major) perman's cape
You don't spit (G major) into the wind (D major)
You don't pull (G major) the mask off
that old lone ranger
And you (A major) don't mess around (G major) with (D major) Jim (A major)
Well (D major) a hush fell over the pool room
Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
And when the cuttin' were done
The only part that wasn't bloody
Was the soles of the big man's feet
Yeah he were (G major) cut in in bout
a hundred places
And he were shot in a couple more
And you bet (A major) ter believe
They sung a (G major) different kind of story
When (A major) big Jim hit the floor
(G major) now they say (D major)
You don't tug (G major) on (D major) su perman's cape
You don't spit (G major) into the wind (D major)
You don't pull (G major) the mask off
that old lone ranger
And you (A major) don't mess around with (G major) slim
(D major) Yeah, big Jim got his hat
Find out where it's at
And it's not hustlin' people
strange to you
Even if you do got a two
piece custom made pool cue
Yeah you don't tug (G major) on
su (D major) perman's cape
You don't spit (G major) into the wind (D major)
You don't pull (G major) the mask
off the old lone ranger
And you (A major) don't mess around (G major) with slim
