Am
Well he walks so tall to be so small 
  C           Dm        Am
I Never met a man who's stranger 

Lives his life for a dollar sign 
       C         Dm     Am
And to deal with him is dang'rous 
                       Am
He knocked me down but I'm on my feet 
C         Dm        Am
Now I'm so   much wiser 
Am            
I'd rather quit and go back home 
        C             Dm
Than to deal with the money miser 

chorus:
      G            Am             Dm      C
Let's cry for this bad man   ahhh oooh
           C  Dm      Am
I sing a song for the bad man

Am      C Dm  Am


          Am                       
Well, you treat me right baby, I'll treat you right 
C          Dm
That's the way its supposed to be 
Am                        C                       
I put my faith down in my friend 
    Dm                      Am
And he almost put an end to me 


Am                       C
Well I work seven days a week 
Dm              Am
Eight when I am able 
Am            C                 Dm                Am
When you take money from me you take food from my mama's table 

chorus:
      G            Am             Dm      C
Let's cry for this bad man   ahhh oooh
           C  Dm      Am
I sing a song for the bad man

Am      C Dm  Am


   Am            C
Oh baby you know who you are 

(solo)
Am    C   Dm   Am

chorus:
      G            Am
Let's cry for this bad man 
C         C    Dm      Am
I wrote a song for the bad man     way down in Georgia


          Am                       
Well, you treat me right baby, I'll treat you right 
C          Dm                  Am
That's the way its supposed to be 
         C                       
I put my faith down in my friend 
    Dm                     Am
And he almost put an end to me 
      Am               C           Dm            Am
Well, when you take my money baby when you hurt my family 
      Am               C           Dm      Am
I go walkin' through the swamps without no shoes 
Am        C        D      Am
Step on a snake it scares you 

 chorus:
      G            Am
Let's cry for this bad man 
C              Dm      Am
I wrote a song for the bad man
C              Dm      Am
I wrote a song for the bad man
